Hello!

Looking for ideas and suggestions in how to store the kids school photos, what do other mums do?
It’s just seems a waste letting them pile up in cardboard folders on a shelf. Need some inspiration!

  • We never did school photo’s as such, but make a photo ourselves each year of the kids in uniform. The plan is to make an online photo book for each child but it hasn’t come from it yet


  • Mmm, mine are still sitting in their cardboard folders in a drawer in my bedroom. I got copies of my grandsons for Christmas…..on a memory stick!


  • I don’t know the answer but I would like too as well! At the moment I just have them sitting in the cardboard covers they came in and then put in shoe boxes. This would be a great question to ask at a photography or camera store.


  • Mine are all in a large envelope.


  • They are in a box in my son’s room. Some passport photos have been used especially for some applications for sport ID’s etc in the past , but otherwise I find it nice and tidy just to have it in the package they gave us in . It would be nice to store in an album , but then you have to break them all apart. Not sure what to do really ..


  • Make a photo book on snapfish.com.au ‘school years’


  • I have all mine still in their original cardboard covers, sitting in the plastic envelopes they came home in, sitting in my tallboy drawer. Apart from ones I sent to rellys


  • Do copies of the photos.
    Put the originals away & make a collage for your wall with the copies.
    The collages look great & you still have your perfect originals for when your children are older.


  • We have a big Scrap book for each child


  • I have a book for each year and I put a sample of their work and any other special memories in there.


  • I have a few on the wall, but I find putting them in a nice scrapbook with other certificates and sport photos is a good thing. I can also put notes on different things that they have done at school.


  • Thank you ladies – while I have nothing to add, I’ve just picked up a couple of good ideas.


  • Would love some ideas on this one also, once we have given the individual photos to the grandparents the rest seem to stay in their folders and I have them all in a filing box. They are safe but certainly not displayed.


  • i have a container. display them in frames or on the fridge or scrap book


  • Scan the photo – that way you have a digital copy in case the original goes missing or gets damaged.
    – Make a collage with the photos and any artwork that has been created that year, and put it up on display.
    – Buy a portable filing system carry case and put them in manilla folders with the year clearly marked.
