Artwork, Managing

How did you manage all of your toddlers’ artwork?

Our Mommy MD Guide’s reply: When my kids were in preschool, they produced incredible amounts of artwork. It seriously would have taken over my house. The preschool had a genius idea: They created a bound book of a selection of my kids’ art. I was just looking at my son’s portfolio. It was so fun to look back on his fingerpainting and preschool art!

Even if your child’s preschool doesn’t do this, it wouldn’t be hard to gather up some of his art and bind it into a book.
