I saw this idea and fell in love. I love the thought of having a place to put all of those special papers rather than them making a home in my car, or in that special place on my kitchen counter that everything seems to migrate to. I had been storing them in the baby book but it was getting kind of full and I really wanted something that could grow with them. I love the idea of having a place to put their school portrait and I also printed out some lined paper so we can do a handwriting sample at the beginning of the year and again at the end.
I initially found the idea on Pinterest of course but the original idea can be found here I Heart Organizing She has all of the templates you need to put together your folders and step by step directions.
Now, the next step is doing the back work. :( I need to round up 5x7's of their school pictures for the last couple of years and find all of those loose papers that I want to file away.
I'm not sure how much use the older grades will get, but I had to put them in there just in case.
So exciting! What a little cutie you have! Glad you like the project and thank you so much for sharing!
