All great ideas and to add to the list- SovenarteBooks. I made a book with them and it was just beautiful. I still kept the art but now we enjoy it!

Thanks everyone for the ideas, my daughter isnt even 2 yet and her art is already stacking up. I have so far got a box for each year since she has been born that I keep her cards and art in but I dont think it will be long and I will need to use a lot of this different ideas.
Deciding on the best ones is going to be the hardest. She is already so talented with her colouring, drawing and painting.

I was making a get-well card for my daughter the other day and drew a picture of me on it. I realized I draw myself exactly as I did when I was 9 years old. I remember this because my mother framed and saved a picture I had drawn of me standing in the snow. You would think I would have improved a little in 21 years. Nope. But I’m glad I have an original to compare it to.

I have scanned a lot of my daughter’s artwork into storybooks! They are great. We are able to sit down and flip through them and see all of her amazing drawings over the years. You can check these great books out at http://www.legaciesbyheather.com.

When my daughter started kindergarten, I started filling a large plastic bin with her stuff. I threw some things away, but kept more than I knew I'd save in the end. Now that we've started first grade, I plan to go thru the box and do some serious purging. Then I'll put a divider in and start saving the first grade stuff. I figure if I end up with two bins over the course of elementary school, it will be pretty reasonable. Vintage Mommy's last blog post..Adoption Book Review: The Day We Met You

I came across this the other day and thought it was a good idea for temporarily displaying artwork especially since I have 4 little ones to show off their work.

I do like Sara does. But with a twist. I take a digital photo or scan it and put it in a folder on my photo sharing site. All our relatives are out of town so it's an easy way to share. I also have been keeping special papers in file folders. But I think I need to cut down ALOT. Especially since the best is saved digitally.

This is a hard task; I'm very sentimental over my little ones art. We do the bins and the folders and I frame it for the house. I guess I'll let her decide when she is older. tabbyintexas's last blog post..2 Oct 08

Photos are a good idea Sara, especially for those pieces that don’t keep well.

Mother Necessity – I LOVE the idea of hiding notes and little drawings inside cookbooks. Perfect!

Kelli, you had a great post and photos today about kid’s art! You all can see it here: Can’t see the Forest for the Ziti at her blog Me in Place.
