How to Organize Children's Art-School Work

My grand plan was for the summer to go to work, all your child's school / art job they brought home after the last school year, but yikes, it's so much of where to start is the best place? First, we want a little lecture:

· Always all your children's art school is not working. Just think, if you save everything your child brings home by the time they are in school you will find a garage for two cars full of flowing work with their paper mustand there will be spill in your home. (I actually read on a woman who had saved everything and this was the result).

I believe it! I did find out some math, if you only have three (3) a piece of paper in the week, times four weeks in a month times 9 months a year (figuring to save the school is not in session for 12 months) times 8 years school (pre-school to grade 6), that a sum of 864 pieces of paper.

· So if you think you have everything to save your child at all onPaper, you do not need. A very wise kindergarten children passed this gem, "in small process, not product. Kids are living in the moment, they enjoy a moment of art, but are quite casual about disposing of it. I have five daughters and I, as this I experienced them know this is true.

• By order and go over with our children, what to keep and release what you can help them when they are older and they have to start sorting her own mail. Nowis the time to learn for it, do not have to keep everything, and it is the right thing to do. When they in process, not product, it is us parents who shy away from letting go? It's not just about their art or schoolwork - it's about how they (and you) approach organization.

· It is about setting reasonable limits - not just for your child, but also for themselves. And you will be the adults, so you decide the limits. It is for us to teach our children how importantto organize.

Our children will bring home artwork, test papers, homework and various memorabilia from the school. Of course we want to save their important childhood memories, but what do we think and how we keep it? When the kids bring home any of the above, looks at him and discuss with them if they need the attention a bit. Not everything they bring home has a sit down discussion with them. Start the choice right then, not later, but then what right to keep and whatto throw. When cleaning their backpacks tale a look right then. If you are too busy to do on that day, a priority to do it at least once a week. The child, if interested can be part of this process.

As a mother and a professional organizer I know the value of saving and threw a few things other things. This is so important at home organizations. Here are my suggestions, what can be saved and what not to save.

· Get a large envelope X-10.5 15 is a goodSize. Write the child's name, school name, year in school, school year (2008-2009) and the teacher's name on the outside. If they are school pictures taken if you have extra's band once with clear tape on the front of the envelope.

· Have an envelope for each year of a child in school. If your home school, the same principle applies. At the end of summer this year (they provided some projects to keep you from summer programs). Place the envelope in aContainer with a lid on it. This can be an apple box or a purchased box Zerox am his plastic. Space to the field to keep a good this is on the top shelf of her closet. If you decorate any kind of board with adhesive film to the end that shows and write the child's name on them. Label the plastic box with the name of the child.

• Everyone has their own child's own envelope and box. I recommend saving a sampling of school work, not only the best, but some are that"Average".

• If the artwork that comes to your home, is bigger than your designated storage space or it begins to pile up faster than you can handle it, take a picture of him with the kids holding it. What a fun look back for memory. Buy a photo album and an "art-album for each child.
Now, school work and work of art is selected and the contained here are ideas of what to do with the art work which, before it makes the"Archive".

• The refrigerator as a professional organizer and mother this is my favorite place for a minimum of artwork, as disorder creates in the kitchen, but if you look like, then do it, but there are other wonderful ideas. My girls grew up with her artistic work in other places and they are all issued adventurous, funny and interesting adults. It did not take her ego is hurt, what I say.

· Pin on a bulletin board or corkBoard.

· Create a gallery space in your house, it can be in the child's room or a public room like the kitchen, hallway or family room. String a clothesline along a large wall in the bedroom and use clothespins to the "collection". Turn old and new art on and off the screen.

· Use inexpensive box frame for poster-size pictures. A framework is a large piece or several smaller works.

• A second method is to hangStrips of felt from a dowel rod and allow kids pin their works directly under the felt.

Artwork to create · laminate and place mats that you give relatives or use during meals or messy art and CRAFT projects at home.

· Send you use pictures to relatives if the child can write it as stationary. (Write on back)
· Use for wrapping paper. If you want to use it in this way, they share with the wrapping paper, not only in a stacksomewhere.

For those works of art from clay, paper mache and science projects, it can be a paper linger until the tension has subsided, then decide whether the display is for or whether it was "a learning experience". If you or your child to keep really, to want the piece, make sure it is displayed in a way that not only pays tribute to its importance but also protects against dust and damage. If a piece is not redeemed, then it has respected no place in your home - whetherIt is a scientific project or a family heirloom.

My friend encouraged her children to use their clay creations as they tend to break or become less important to them and then there is no problem with memory handling.

Remember: You can throw away many things. I have never seen an adult who has not handed over boxes of childhood memorabilia, which has not said she can not believe how much stuff of her mother, and held it just not that important as it is fulfilled adults. As the artworkseen and enjoyed the time passes and the children and parents less and less connected to her.

I asked my children in the school paper last. give the answer I know of many people, the poor quality newsprint drawing paper is probably acidic and will deteriorate over time. They go on to say that you slow process by use of acid and lignin free storage materials. My thought is, being based on acidic paper in the first place does what it does not matter whether theysurrounded by acid-free cover. I have a baby book that almost 40 years old and get the paper has remained good. The photographs are mostly clear. If you are worried about the longevity of the pieces that you have saved, you can take photos on acid and lignin free paper or photocopy them for posterity.
