Not so very long ago I read a funny article about children’s artwork; the great dilemma about whether or not to pitch it. Now that I think back, where did my mom put all that “art” from her five kids? I have a sneaking suspicion! If you are a kids’ artwork keeper, then Ashley from Little Miss Momma has a great way to hang it using plaques and Mod Podge. I think these little plaques look fun and actually wouldn’t mind having them on the wall. Visit Ashley’s project here and then let me know – your children’s artwork, do you keep or toss it?
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
Bought an artist portfolio case at Michaels for each child when they were babies and keep a select sample of very well done or special art projects in it for them. They haul it out every time grandma comes to visit and show her their favorites. Can’t keep it all!
I kept too much when I was a kid and now I don’t know where all my boxes went. Mom?
I’ve been tossing my kid’s stuff but starting to want to keep some now that they are almost 4 and 2 because it actually looks like something now. Where to store it? I like this display a lot! It looks great.
I don’t even have kids and I already have too much of their art. So I made a turkey (pardon the shameless self promotion: http://www.auntpeaches.com/2011/11/jive-turkey-kids-art-turned-into.html). I like these parents who give each year a bin or envelope to stuff as they please –one day the munchkins will grow up to appreciate it!
I couldn’t keep EVERY piece of art from 4 kids… if they found it in the garbage, I would say, “How did that get in there? It must have fallen off the refrigerator!” Yeah, you mom tossed yours
But you are still making art so you’re not scarred too bad…
I keep some, usually the paintings. I would like to do something to display them all. With one of the paintings my daughter did, it was finger painting with a little glitter, very pretty, I cut it in squares and mod podged it to a glass bottle. Very pretty, could use as a vase or just a nice decorative item
