A kid in school (or daycare) means lots of artwork. From handprint turkeys to pages of scribbles, it can be quite a lot of stuff to save.
I had been quietly slipping about half of it into the trash until the day my son caught me in a typical parental fib and discovered I wasn’t archiving every piece he brought home.
My Lies Exposed
I was really hoping my son wouldn’t notice the disappearing artwork as I swapped out an old pic for the latest masterpiece, but I totally got busted.
K: Let’s put my new picture up!
Me: OK!
K: Why is there only one picture? Where are all my pictures?
Me: ummmmmm….Ummmmmmmmmm…
I rotate them.
K: Rotate them?
Me: Yeah, like I switch them around and put new ones out, so we don’t get bored…
K: Well where do you keep them all?
Me: ummmmmmmmmm
A very safe place! So safe I forgot and would have to look for them.
It may take a while. 😬
So busted 🙄. But I mean…I can’t save everything! There’s only so much fridge space and I had to make room for the latest self-portrait. Nice use of texture here. I feel like he really captured his frantic nature. This one is going front and center.

My girl is 12 now and there is So! Much! Art.
I put some on walls, doors, etc with painters tape but it gets rotated. And I take pictures of it. You can’t keep it all.
They love it if you have an electronic folder with their name on it and you show them it’s full of their art work. 🙂
That’s a neat idea…to take a pic of everything 🙂
