Summary

In this episode, Heather Tingle discusses how to manage and organise children's artwork. She emphasises the importance of not throwing away children's artwork without their consent and instead suggests displaying it in a limited space.

Heather recommends using display options like the fridge, cork board, or DaVinci frames. Once the display space is full, she advises involving the child in the decision-making process of what artwork to keep and what to let go of. Heather also suggests turning selected artwork into photo books or memory folders and warns against creating digital clutter by photographing everything. She concludes by highlighting the importance of valuing the process of creating artwork over the end result.

• Involve the child in the decision-making process of what artwork to keep and what to let go of.
