suggestions...?
ok, so I've been staring at a rather large stack of my kids' art projects for the past several weeks trying to figure out what to do with them (all paper art). We've gone through all the projects we've done in the past year and pulled out our favorite ones. Now I'd like to put them into some kind of a portfolio that will make it easy for H & H to look through and see what they've done over the past year. What I don't want to do is stick everything in a box, which will quickly be forgotten or lost. The problem I'm having is the art work is all different sizes. Does anyone have a solution to this mess? If you don't want to leave a comment, then please feel free to email me. I'll let you know what I figure out! :)

Just a thought....but you could take pictures of the artwork to put in a portfolio. The actually artwork itself could be preserved in a plastic tote to keep dry and clean, but the kids could look through a photo type album or portfolio and see all of the projects they did in the past. Not exactly what you are asking for, but perhaps a solution to your problem?
I'm guessing you probably have some quite large projects? In the past, I've put smaller size projects into plastic page protectors and a three ring binder. I like the idea of taking pictures of them. I'll be watching the comments here since I'm curious as well. I need to do something with my kid's art work to.
my mother in law had a great suggestion that I thought I'd share: Hi~Good question...If the projects are flat, you could buy a large drawing tablet (practice paper is a light brown color) and several pieces can be spray glued or glue-stick stuck on the large sheets. Put the large tablet under their bed. They aren't going to look at these very often because they will be doing new art projects.
I have another suggestion to add to the mix. Hilary, who used to work at a pre-school in Hollywood, said that they would get large pieces of construction paper and glue the art on the paper. Then they would laminate as many as possible and then punch holes into the paper and tie together with a ribbon. Pretty!
I miss my access to the laminator at King's!!!
