Create A Childhood Memory Box For Your Kids Papers And Crafts

We all know we can't save every piece of paper our kids scribble on, or we would soon get buried under it all.

But, it is nice to save some special pictures, notes, and school papers from various stages of their lives, for sweet memories later.

I talked some about that in my post about keeping up with your kids' school papers.

I really liked the idea that Nan from Mom's The Word had about creating childhood memory boxes for each of her children.

She has written two posts about it, which I suggest you read for some good ideas:

• Creating Boxes For Kids Papers


• Saving Childhood Memories

What I really liked about her idea was that it didn't need to be an elaborate way to organize and save every paper.

Instead, she just saved some of the really special ones.

She also didn't just save the A+ papers, but some of the lower grades, to show her kids how they stretched and grew.

Finally, this is the type of idea where you can just jump in and start saving.

You don't have to worry about the fact that you missed saving stuff from all of second grade, but can just start now saving stuff in this grade.

So, do you have any ideas about saving kids' school papers and artwork to share? If so, please share them with us!
