Do you keep your child's artwork?

Just wondering what everyone does with their kids art projects. My DD just turned 4 and takes an art class once a week. Not sure what the norm is but I am tempted to throw most of them away as the main purpose of the class is socialization.

Some of the items that they really wanted to keep, I took pics of. That way, I can "keep" an almost infinite number of their artwork for essentially no space.

When she was in Pre-K, I started to keep her artwork. They soon accumulated very quickly! After a while, I just threw them out. There's no reason to keep all that paper! We have saved some small clay sculptures and stuff that's "good", but mainly they get tossed.

I toss most of it. I keep some things that are hung up on walls in their playroom. Some goes with our holiday decorations (like pumpkins at Halloween, the Grinch at Christmas), things like that.

I take photos and toss them. I only keep the really good ones, the ones that have hand prints, or the ones that are really special.

Re: Do you keep your child's artwork?

Stuff they make for school I take a picture of it & throw out.
Stuff they make for me (cards, drawings, notes) I am sentimental & keep them.

I kept stuff for so long and then eventually took pics of everything and made a shutterfly book for their art work.
