We got plastic sleeves and just insert them in there. We don't get that many so even after 2 years of daycare, we're only at one binder still. I don't keep the pieces that are just random scribblings usually unless he was especially proud of it. One day when I picked him up, he went running back to the coloring table, madly scrambled through the papers and found his and came running back to me with it which I thought was so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944846 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:16:00 +0000 Mamaof2 1944846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Briefly.<br /> We have an art wall that I hang them on and as new stuff goes in I rotate and throw away.</p> <p>I try to only keep the really nice things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944826 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:05:20 +0000 banana 1944826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep like 90%. I'll throw away the ones with glitter or tiny stickers since those get messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944777 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:43:08 +0000 Mama Bird 1944777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, for now. They're just drawings and don't take much space. I'm a pack rat and still keep my best drawings from elementary school on :grin: at my parents', and all of them only take up a big drawer. Now if B starts bringing home 3D crafts, I'll need a new plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944646 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:52:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1944646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them all, even the scary looking brown glob of a painting :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944638 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:49:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1944638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i throw away most of them but sometimes they find them in the trash and ask why i threw it out! :shocked: </p> <p>they make so much it's impossible to keep it all so i just keep the best ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944625 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:44:24 +0000 looch 1944625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I've kept everything with the exception of a Fruit Loops glue project.</p> <p>I've also made the mistake of pitching something and I was promptly told "My art doesn't belong in the garbage." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944122 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 23:29:58 +0000 autumnlove 1944122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944117 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 23:24:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1944117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mainly just the ones with handprints and footprints! I'm starting to keep more of DD's because she's actually the one doing them now. DS's are obviously done by the teachers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1944098 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 23:03:16 +0000 sunny 1944098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far yes. But I think we need to toss most of it. There is just so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1943997 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:41:01 +0000 rrachael 1943997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! But we take pictures of most of them. Sometimes it's very obvious dd didn't actually do much, if any, of the crafting... In those cases we bring them home and "file" them away ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1943844 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:09:09 +0000 Smurfette 1943844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! We only keep special ones. Otherwise we take pictures of them so we can make an album of the pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1943804 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:38:33 +0000 Canoli 1943804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part yes! It's ridiculous. 3 years worth of stuff. I've got to part with some of it, it's taking over our office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1943797 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:32:41 +0000 Sparkler 1943797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, no! I hang up things that my kids are proud of, but eventually I throw it all out (oldest is 3.5). I started taking pics of everything before I tossed it, but then stopped. My parents and my husbands parents saved tons of grade school art work and gave it to us when we moved into our house. We threw it all out without looking at it, so I don't really see the point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-all-daycare-crafts#post-1943789 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:28:16 +0000 regberadaisy 1943789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically only keep crafts that include handprints, footprints that don't have glitter, etc glued on. </p> <p>Today LO came home with a craft that had cheerios glued on so I threw it out. She just took it out of the garbage (nothing was on top) to show me. She was so proud of it! Oops. :silly: </p>
