We
have scoured the internet (mostly Pinterest) to find the best ways to organize
all of this paperwork.
The Binder System: From our favorite organizing
blog, I Heart Organizing, Jen put together these adorable binders for her boys
for elementary school. Read all about it
on her blog here
The File System: The binders above can easily get full and if you don’t want to end
up getting a 4 or 5 inch binder for each child (That can get heavy!) try the
file system. This is what Jen from I
Heart Organizing upgraded to after she found her binders not being able to
support all of the artwork her sons had.
This method is simple, give each
child a crate or box and put file folders in there for each year. This method leaves plenty of room to expand
in case your child ends up being the future Picasso or you can’t bear to throw anything
away.
For Large Art Work (to be stored away): This art portfolio has a nice professional look
to it and even has handles. You could
get one for each child and put all their artwork in it and put it in the attic
or basement. It’s slim so it could
easily slide in between two shelving units to keep it from bending. Downside: It is made out of paper so this is
best for storing but not for traveling with.
For Artwork (for display purposes): This large photo album from Amazon is 18” by 24”
and is large enough to keep large art projects safe. Perfect to have on the coffee table or a shelf
to show grandparents and friends at a moment’s notice.
Framing System: How cute is this idea? You
shrink your child’s artwork and then mount in in a large frame. Think about the possibilities? You could have
all of your child’s elementary school artwork in one place! This would look great in a great room or even
a play room.
Are
you going to implement any of these ideas? Do you have any methods already in
place?
