I loved all the ideas on how to save kid’s artwork but the reality is, who has time to do all that? There is a company that does all the work for you in a professional manner by transforming all the art into a hard cover book which is not achievable at home. Artimusart.com sends you a box to collect your child’s art.(paid return postage label included) Artimusart.com preserves not just a few pieces of art, but all of it. They scan, work each image to color correct, fix tears, remove smudges,etc, then they send all the art images to a web art gallery where you click and drag the images in order, and transform that box of kid art into a customized, beautiful hard cover book. You also get a private web gallery where you can send the art image as an e-card or send the entire gallery. It’s really the most revolutionary way to preserve kid art in today’s busy world.

There are several great ways to save kids artwork, including the ones you have mentioned. You can also laminate special pieces and use them as placemats. Grandparents, aunts and uncles can also be on a rotation. The traveling artist- where your child sends a “masterpiece” to the grandparents who proudly display it for a few weeks, then it goes to Aunt Susie’s, etc than it is retired (aka pitched). One of my clients strung a clothes line in her play room and hangs the kids artwork up with clothes pins. Lots of fun things to do with art and the most important thing is to treasure those moments because they don’t last forever!
