Is your child's artwork piling up endlessly? Ours does too. I found an easy solution that doubles as preservation without the mess. Rescue your kid's artwork piles by making this art and memory scrapbook.
Simply grab a handful of your child's artwork, a hole punch, and some string to make this fun project. Be sure to let kids help create this fun art project that will be full of memories. This is a great way to spend some time together, as well as let your kids know their artwork is special to you.
First, sort the art out according the time frame it was created in. Obviously, you won't know the exact date for each, unless you're very meticulous prior to this project. However, try to put them in an order that makes the most sense.
If you want, you can use a manila folder or some construction paper as the cover. I personally prefer to have one of the pieces of art as a cover. If you're using this additional covering, simply place the artwork inside your cover piece or pieces.
Now, punch four holes in the left side of all of the pages. If you have a heavy duty hole punch, you may be able to do them all at once to line them up easier. Once you do this, tie a piece of string in a bow between the top two holes. Repeat for the bottom two holes with another piece of string.
That's it!
Now, stick it with your photo and memory albums and enjoy!
