Beauty with a purpose

Most young children go through a stage of destroying everything in sight.  For one of my children, this stage has lasted for 3 years.  This calls for a parent with Eyes in the Back of their Head. At times, having spider vision would be even better.  Obviously, I have neither of those talents, otherwise they may have helped me save a number of books from being destroyed over the years.

Here are my examples of how to turn the destruction into purposeful creations.
