Five creative ideas for preserving and displaying your kids' art

 Five creative ideas for preserving and displaying your kids' art without the clutter:

1. **Create a Rotating Gallery Wall**: 

Designate a space in your home, like a hallway or playroom, for an art gallery. Use frames or clipboards to display their artwork, and regularly rotate the pieces to showcase new ones. You can store older artwork in a box or binder to preserve it without taking up too much space.

2. **Turn Art into a Photo Book**:

 Take high-quality photos of their artwork and create a custom photo book. This way, you preserve the memories without holding onto all the physical pieces. You can make themed books (e.g., by year or age) or even have your kids help choose which pieces to include.

3. **Make Personalized Gifts**: 

Turn their art into custom gifts for family members. For example, scan or photograph their drawings and print them onto items like mugs, pillows, or tote bags. This way, their art becomes a cherished keepsake for others.

4. **Create a Digital Slideshow or Screen Saver**: 

Scan or take photos of their art and create a digital slideshow to play on your computer, digital photo frame, or TV. This can be an ever-evolving way to enjoy their creativity without taking up physical space.

5. **Use Art for DIY Wrapping Paper or Cards**:

 Repurpose their artwork as wrapping paper for gifts or homemade greeting cards. This is a fun and thoughtful way to share their creativity with others while reusing their drawings and paintings.
