    When my sisters and I were in elementary school, all 3 of us had a special 'video paper day'.
    We would spread all of the papers we had kept through the school year all over the house (or yard).
    Then, we would get to bring out the video camera (the big one, like the size of a cat) and record all of our papers with our narrations.
    After that, we would keep a few and throw the rest away.

    • @Yuruble

      It is!
      My mom didn't have to throw away the stuff in the middle of the night, either, since we knew it would be remembered. (Even though we never actually watched the videos... lol)

      I've done something similar, except it was in every crevise of my bedroom. Honestly, I only pulled out all my stuff because I was going into middle school the following year and my mom would have grounded me if I didn't. Wish we had the yard space to do that!

    • @emelliaChingoni

      this is way better for me coz I can't seem to want to part with ANYTHING. Or i can just take pictures I guess or scan. coz I have tried the throw away I just can't.

    What my mother did was progress books. What you basically do is start to write about what progress things that your child has done throughout the years (you start at 1day old until they are 18). My mum kept my hairs from my first haircut or my teeth from my first baby tooth loss and would write about silly things I did! I think it's a thing you would enjoy doing!

  • @Dekiams
    @Dekiams 5 років тому +1

    Here is another idea. My parents kept most of our drawings and paintings with date on them. When we were quite a bit older, they picked with us our favorite and most memorable pictures and me made a self bound book out of the scanned artwork and gave them as christmas presents to grandparents & co. They still have their books and it's a sweet memory. I guess if you scanned them very nicely you could create a professionally bound book with more pages and so keep those treasures more compact and alive.

    I will have to remember this! My son is starting to get prolific with his artwork (he drew Batman for the first time the other day!), so my plan is to scan in my favorites, and every few months (or once a year, let's be real) make a photo book with them. That way it's something I can look back on, and also something that looks nice on a coffee table or that I can put on a shelf in his room for him to look at.

    Does anyone know what type of frames would work for framing construction paper? And where to get them? The kids I babysit constantly give me drawings and I've been wanting to frame them, but all I can find is photo frames, and they never fit the size of the paper. Also, they tend to be very bulky, I would rather get ones that are thin.

      Rebecca Cross I think constriction paper is a little bit bigger than a standard peeve of paper...maybe 10x12...so just get a frame a little bit bigger than that.

A good idea that I've been doing since pre-k is I save all of his stuff, artwork, worksheets, year book, costumes, etc. & at the end of the year instead of donating/throwing out his backpack I just take everything and stuff it in the backpack. So at the moment he has pre-k, kindergarten, and 1st grade stuffed backpacks.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 Temporary *storage such as a drawer for kids' artwork is recommended to be easily accessible for quick storing, which you can use until sorting it at the end of the year.*
    00:26 To *make storing easier, dating the back is a good practice as it helps with later decision-making.*
    00:39 An *end of the year evaluation of the collected artwork helps to choose the best pieces for longer term storage.*
    01:20 The *goal is to hold onto a few special pieces rather than keeping everything, to avoid clutter.*
    01:34 A *single annual evaluation is efficient as it takes less than 30 minutes to select around 25 pieces for permanent storage.*
    01:49 Permanent *storage of the artwork should be in waterproof folders or bins. You can also include photographs and notes indicating important memories.*
    02:16 Some *artwork can be given to grandparents or other family members, whilst others can be framed for display.*
    02:29 Large *artwork pieces that don't fit can be photographed for archival purposes. This process should be done when kids are not at home to avoid distractions and guilt-inducing attempts to keep all pieces.*

    Thank you for sharing this video... I am really having some challenges when it comes to organizing and what to do with all my kids arts and crafts. I take pictures and recycle them once they're not around, but I guess I'll be framing some of them and hang them in their play area... Thanks for this ideas...
