Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Between drawings, collages or even pasta necklaces, the creativity and imagination of your children are more present than ever. This year again you will add to the pile of works of art many creations that will increase the famous bazaar that you have so hard to get rid of. But don’t panic, TikTok is here to help you with tips that will make your life easier.
Here is the top of the news to store, exhibit, enhance the works of art of your offspring without cluttering your fridge and all your drawers.
To each his own collection
This mother has created a real museum for her daughter. In a transparent box, in the name of her child, she was able to arrange in chronological order the multitude of works of art collected in recent years. Plus, this storage tip is fun for the kid, showing off their work in their own museum.
Digital, an ally of storage
Turn your children’s art into digital with this hack. Simply take a photo of your children’s artwork and add it to a shared Google Photos album. You can then send the album by e-mail to your loved ones. As a bonus, this album can be kept over time without deteriorating. We would have liked so much that some of our first projects could have been archived in this way.
Keep or throw away?
It feels like the kids bring home a mountain of paperwork every day. This TikTok shows how parents can decide which to keep and which to throw away. This mother explains that she keeps “only” the works on which her child has clearly spent a lot of time, a work that shows his abilities or sentimental notes. You can decide for your own child what criteria the art has to pass in order to stay, but that should help reduce clutter.
A magical photo frame
This mom discovered a revolutionary photo frame on Amazon. Indeed, in addition to displaying one of the many drawings of your child, this decor can contain dozens of other works of art in a secret storage location. You can buy one for each child and reduce the clutter.
This frame being currently out of stock on Amazon, here are some other frameworks that may do the trick. Their specificities: an easy opening to easily and often change drawings or a significant depth to be able to store drawings.
3 super practical frames for exhibiting and storing kids’ works
The word of the child
Certainly, children have a very specific view of why they have painted or drawn things in a certain way. So this TikTok parent lets their kids choose.
To keep up with their news, use a frame that allows you to store additional photos and the child chooses which one is displayed in the front. When the frame is full, with your child, sort together. Everything the child agrees to get rid of is spread out on the floor and then a photo of the works and of the artist (the child) is taken. Then recycle the art and save the photo. So cute!
Share on a private Instagram
This mom had the brilliant idea of taking pictures of her children’s drawings and then posting them on a private Instagram account. You can just stop there, but the TikTok hack takes it a step further. She created, through an application, photo albums using the works of art shared on the social network. This way, she can now keep memories while gaining space.
Personalized photo album
Similar to the previous method, this TikTok hack encourages parents to throw away the child’s artwork, keeping them in a personalized digital photo album. On paper or digitally, this will allow you to keep a memory that you can view with your child.
Magnets for the fridge
Take pictures or scan your children’s works in the computer, using a specific application or printer or via an eshop that will do that very well, create your own magnets. Now you can have smaller versions of your child’s prettiest artwork on the fridge, but in a less chaotic way.

A fun way to keep an artwork
If you have a working knowledge of Photoshop, this hack is for you. This parent takes their child’s drawings and integrates them into photos of the child. It’s a really creative way to keep a memory and make sure everyone knows exactly who created it.
The table trick
This smart mom has a place for art activities in her house. Children are entitled to a medium sized board on which they can put whatever they want. But at the end of each month, they clean up, and the kids can each choose a piece of art they want to “save”.
A gallery wall
Contain the clutter in one area of the house by creating a floor-to-ceiling gallery wall in your child’s bedroom or playroom. Sure, that’ll be a lot to watch, but at least the chaos is only in one room in your house instead of spilling out all over the place.
