Parents: What do you do with the artwork your children make/color in daycare??

Question

I have 2 kiddos in daycare and every friday they come home with tons of art work from daycare and I hate 2 throw it away but it's just so much! What do u do with yours!!

Answer 1

You can use it to make holiday cards, thinking of you cards, etc...

Answer 2

I used to display it on the refrigerator for a while and then put the best ones in their baby books.

Answer 3

Let them pick out 2 of their very favorites each week - then get a portfolio for each child for each year, label them and put them in boxes, or plastic totes store safely in the attic or garage.  It sure will be fun for years to come.

some day when they look back on this art work they can frame it for their child's room.

Answer 8

They each got to pick 1 item to hang on the fridge or closet door. The rest gets recycled after taking a picture of them.

Answer 9

Since I do child care myself ...my children have what they do at our house and what they do at preschool!  I find that they enjoy "regifting".  With my older child in incorporate "writing" by having him write a letter and then he sends it to grandparents/family members and friends.  

Choose a designated area...I use my son's bedroom closet door.  When it's full up, then he chooses what to take down and we put the new art up.

Answer 10

I have a book and keep it in my room and later when they forget about it I put it in the trash can with out them knowing.

Answer 11

I have laminated the best pieces to use as placemats, cut up some of the fingerpaintings to use as bookmarks ( they make great gifts!) and gift tags. You could even use some of the bigger pieces for gift wrap!
