Miss K started day care at the local Early Learning Centre a month ago and we’re getting quite a pile of artwork.
I’ve been putting some of her art pre day care into a binder because it has all been A4 or smaller. Now she’s at day care we’re getting larger pieces and stuff that clearly won’t fit in a binder.
Now the question for you, dear readers, is what can I use to store all these bits of art?
I’ve been taking photos and archiving them using a great app called Artkive.
Artkive allows you to take a photo of your children’s artwork and tag it with the child’s name, grade and date.
You can create a Share Circle so you can share, via email, your Artkive with family and friends – a great way to share artwork with Grandparents (or anyone else you like)!
If you live in the US or Canada you can get books printed of your children’s artwork too. Hopefully that will be available worldwide soon. But if you would like to get a book you can email them.
I have a great big box of daycare artwork and another one is starting for school stuff. It’s a bit out of control. I know I can’t keep it all —- but I don’t want to get rid of it. I have scanned most of it & I remember seeing Becky HIggins did a video a while back on using Project Life to keep kids artwork. http://www.beckyhiggins.com/videos/ (the one called “Getting Organised with Kids Stuff) – I need to rewatch this.
