How to Organize Kids Artwork

While every piece your child brings home is special, it's not practical to save them all. The best guideline: only keep the truly personal and original ones (i.e. chuck that preprinted turkey your tot colored purple). If your kids are old enough to understand, get them involved in the editing process by enlisting them to help choose which pieces to keep and which to toss. Make a folder, and at the end of each week or month, go through it with them to make those tough decisions.
