How to organize all your kids' artworks

I take pleasure in going through my sons’ artwork, but I can’t stand the cluster and piles so I came up with an easy way of storing and organizing his artwork that is fun to glance through, fast, easy to store and keep up with. This method is very simple and straightforward, it has made a whole lot of difference in keeping his (my son’s) artwork.

One of the things I had to do was to get a storage box where I store all his artwork in an orderly manner. I also got some tabbed Sheet protectors to keep his artwork in place then properly label each sheet. I prefer to write the date and how old he is at the back of the paper. One of the things I also use is binders to bind up all his artwork, Magazine holder or any other holder to hang and hold his artwork neatly in place. Some examples of the magazine holder used are metal magazine holders. Also, I make use of regular sheet protectors which protects his artwork for a long period of time.

To properly organize your kid’s artwork, you’ll need a place to collect, hold and store the artwork. Anything that is important to you and your kids can be temporarily or permanently stored there. As the artwork come in throughout the year, ensure you date them (especially when there is no date on it already).  You can also write how old your kids are along side with the date for easy identification in order to easily replace it back to its position when it’s pulled out, so it’s not taking away from the artworks position.  Label your tabbed sheet protectors. You can have one labeled each for your kids, one for your husband and one for yourself.

As your kids bring their artwork home, decide together if it’s something that should be kept or throw away. Make sure you keep their best artwork. Any artwork that is your kid’s best or is meaningful to them needs to be kept safe.  It would also be nice to keep a sample of their artwork at some strategic points in the house; this can help you to see the progress they make throughout the year.
