The closer\u00a0 we get to the end of the year, the larger the stack of kids work you’ve probably assembled. Now what?<\/p>\n
Here are a few ideas from Family Fun (FF) magazine and from me. Let me now which ones appeal to you.<\/p>\n
Sit down with your child. to decide which papers they want to keep. Suggest a limit you’re comfortable with\u00a0 keeping.<\/p>\n
1. Box them (11X14), stow in 3-ring binger, or place them in a manila folder labeled for each school year.<\/p>\n
2. Select 1-2 of each subject to place in\u00a0 a scrapbook.<\/p>\n
3. Shrinky Dink the art pieces to make charms. (FF)<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 Buy an online scrapbook service for each year’s best kept papers. (FF)<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 Hang up papers by category on child’s board and replace\/dispose of monthly. Hang via a giant clip.(FF)<\/p>\n
6.\u00a0 Scan into a computer file for each child by school year.<\/p>\n
7.\u00a0 Use sections of saved papers as front pages of thank you notes or note cards.<\/p>\n
8.\u00a0 Laminate the ‘keepers’ and use as placemats.<\/p>\n
9.\u00a0 Mail a selection to grandparents.<\/p>\n
