    We keep a couple of favorite pieces of artwork a year in a box for when they are older, we give some as presents and sneak the rest out, photos are a good idea though. We are starting to explain we cant keep it all and if they want new pieces the other ones have to go. We just found two garbage bags of stuff paper, craft stickers, rocks etc from dd2's room this week she was happy to get rid of it this time as we were painting her room. With toys we donate the older ones to family and friends if we can so they can still play with them when we visit but we have also donated to charity recently. We don't sneak the toys as they get upset if they notice they are missing. It's hard with three as they all want their own stuff so you get over run!
