Creative Ideas for preserving your children's artwork

[Kathleen Cvitkovic]

Just wondering if you have any ideas on how I can keep my kids artwork that they have done. Not sure if scrapbooking would be best or simply creating frames to showcase what they have done throughout the years. Any suggestions would be great!

I saw on one of those Organizational Shows that they took photographs of the artwork and kept it in folders so that way it minimized the clutter and you can showcase the "special" ones in frames or in an album.

I would have to agree. I tried keeping all of them in a bankers box, 1 for each child(I have 3), but they took up too much room and my oldest is in grade 3 and on box 2. This wasn't a practical way of keeping the art. I even tried scrapbooking their work durring the daycare years, that didn't work either. I have just earlier this year went hrough their stuff and saved only one or 2 of their best school work, and a few of their art works and recycled the rest. It's not too bad but I can see this becoming a problem when my youngest starts school, in September. So I would have to say that taking a pictures of the art work, would be best.
