3 Ways to Store Kids’ Art
Feeling overwhelmed by the growing pile of art your kids bring home from school? We have you covered! Below, we share our 3 favorite ways to store children’s art to give you peace of mind while keeping their childhood memories alive!
Artkive’s Coffee Table Book
Drowning in piles of your children’s art projects? Consider using Artkive to help preserve the memories without the mess! Artkive takes children’s art and transforms it into coffee table books! They take professional photographs of each artwork, providing you a digital proof to review before they print. The books range from 25-250 images and come in two sizes: 8”x8” or 11”x8.5”. Artkive is a wonderful, trusted service we have used with many of our clients. We like to create a zone with a bin near the area where your kids typically drop their things from school. When they come home with new art pieces, place the most precious ones in the basket to be sent to Artkive at the end of the year. Use code: Horderly20 for $20 off your order!
TIP: Feeling more sentimental? Instead of sorting the art into “keep” & “recycle” immediately, you can use the bin for all artwork and set up a schedule at the end of every school year to go through the bin and pull out just the best of the best to send to Artkive!
Frame It
If you want to display your kid’s art immediately, these storage frames are a great solution.The frame opens to a storage area that has space for a few of your favorite pieces and you can switch them out as you like. As always, it is important to consider keeping just your, or your child’s, select few favorite pieces to be stored long-term. We love using this as a fun way for kids to get inspired by their current art projects and what they’re learning!
Store It
Memento bins, boxes, and cases are another way to store a few special pieces of your children’s art. We do recommend if you decide to go with this option that you go through the bin bi-annually to ensure that you are keeping just a select few favorite pieces and not becoming overwhelmed with all of the art you are storing. Once the bin is full, sort through it and keep only the very best- chances are, some pieces that once felt important may no longer hold the same value.
