What a great idea! This would certainly save some space in our basement! The guilt of throwing very much out consumes me so I just keep it, much to my husband’s chagrin!

(Love the ‘facebook’ Giovanni…if I was on Facebook that is definitely something my 7 year old daughter would do!)

WHAT IS FACEBOOK?
My elder sister has just got addicted to Facebook. And while her kids study, she logs in the addictive social networking site and uploads photos.

Megan, her 8 year old, was at the receiving end of her Mom’s divided attention and piqued. “What is Facebook?” To which her Mom replied, “It’s a place where you keep faces of people.” An hour later, Megan drops off a tiny booklet her Mom’s hand. “Here,” she said. “I made a facebook for you. Now you don’t have to waste your time on the computer.”

Awesome — my 20 month old is getting better and better at “doing art” and I have never taken a second to photograph her in the process or the results of her efforts! I’m going to start doing just that as a project of my own. My 6 month old is not quite creating anything as of yet, so I’ll have to watch and capture his first crayola expression. I love it — thanks for the fantastic idea!

With drawings and paintings you can scan them as well. That way you have them if you ever want to print them out. We have an art wall in the living room…it’s a 4×4 space painted with magnetic paint and they are allowed to fill it with whatever they want. New pieces go up and old ones come down. Really special ones I put in their school memory book, but most are trashed afterwards. You can’t possibly keep it all when at a sitting they can turn out 10 ‘masterpieces’. I also teach my children how to draw things (they are almost 5) and how to add detail, so they may grow as artists and produce more quality than quantity, and see the value in that.
