Do you keep any of your child's schoolwork/artwork? How? Where?

[Legacy]

I've finally got around to sorting through a huge bag of the DSs schoolwork which was sent home at the end of last term .

It seems terrible to throw it all away, but equally I have no idea what to do with it - there are pictures, workbooks, projects, models etc

Any ideas, tips?

I feel sure it would be nice to have a few pieces to look back on later in life, but how could I sensibly file/store it?

I have the best in boxes in the loft.

I have one box per child. When the box gets full, I look back through it and get rid of some. It's hard to throw away stuff they've just done, but easier to be objective about it a year or so on. I did go through a phase of sticking one or two bits per year in a scrapbook so that they had one thing to keep when they are older.

6y DD has a memory box. In it are things like cards from when she was born, her baptism cards, 1st birthday, nursery photos, first outfit - and then some selected art work and school books and school certificates. We date them and put them on top. The rest are binned.

We do have one cupboard in the kitchen were we put up more recent things from school.
