What do you do with your children's art?

I post a LOT of DD's artwork. We have aunts, uncles, godparents, greatgrandparent, great-aunts, great-uncles, old family friends - they all get new pictures or creations every few months! TBH I don't keep a lot. Preschool keeps a great portfolio of her work in a scrapbook. I have heaps in a pile though, so some of these ideas are good for our house too!

At the moment, DD is 2 and just scribbles. I keep a few that I think are nice (eg: pretty coloured scribbles) but usually I just look at them and throw them straight out - she doesn't know or care at this age. I do feel bad for doing it, but I don't see the point at this age.

Thanks so much for the ideas ladies. Some things I hadn't even considered.

Photos of art are such a great idea. Preserved for life, and wrapping pressies (a huge saving and really personal).

I'm definitely going to do the scrapbook thing and possibly the post tubes later too.

I'm off to check out the file o frame now.

Thanks again

Great thread, thanks for all the tips!

DD has just started to enjoy scribbling, and I already have hundreds of loose papers all over the place lol
