Does anyone have a system for saving kids art and homework?

The only sane way to store your kids flat art: A truly unaesthetic rec, but prior to this solution I had a milk crate where all kid art was piled, slowly becoming crinkled messy sedimentary rock. A friend recommended I do what she did, and now I've rec'd this far and wide - get a legal paper sized file box, legal size hanging folders, and label each one by age /grade. We started with "the toddler room" at their daycare. Anything worth saving goes in that year's bin.

I still have no solution for the 3D projects, which are everywhere.

One banker’s box for each kid: I keep one for each kid, and throw everything special in there - artwork, school papers with A+, sports certificates, extra school photos. Every so often I’ll go through and cull the ones that “aren’t so good” and keep the really special ones. Pic of the magazine when my kid entered and won!!
