Perfect idea to preserve kid art!

I had struggled with what to do with all the art a kid begins to generate from camps and school even in a year. I had a drawer that was getting full, so had begun to cull the pieces i didnt want to keep, when my son caught a piece of his art in the trash. He was so hurt! We ordered the box, it arrives in the mail with all the return postage and instructions. We took our time and currated a box filled with his and my favs from Kindergarten. I let it sit and sit and artkive sent an email reminding me they will pick up from my house! it was simple. Once they received they emailed regularly to let me know where they were in the process. I was able to review the photos and choose order and captions in the art book. It is now on a shelf everyone in the family can enjoy and the big pieces that could be damaged and all the piles are gone. We look forward to doign the same for 1st grade!

What a beautiful story! We're so glad we could help turn that overflowing drawer into something your whole family can enjoy together. It sounds like your son's kindergarten memories are in the perfect place now. We can't wait to help you capture 1st grade too!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I think this is a great option for holding on to lovely memories and watching your child's artistic abilities and interests develop.

I think this is a great option for memorializing all the wonderful artwork that your child brings home rather than having it sit in piles in closets/drawers. The art is photographed really nicely. The cost is definitely pricey (though I at least benefitted from an email offering free UPS pickup). I would recommend going through your artwork first and counting your pieces. I 'guesstimated' and probably could have gone down one size in terms of pages. But, I'm very happy with the final product full of cherished memories.

This was a great way to save art work from my young adult’s grade life that I had collected on a bin. He will be able to hold onto to one book instead of 50 various size art pieces. I highly recommend

Teacher valentines

My mother-in-law was a teacher in a small one room rural schoolhouse and she saved all of her Valentines. They are now preserved forever in a book. The Valentines will now go to a historical society. Thank you!

The best solution for preserving kids’ artwork

We used Artkive to turn our kids’ artwork into books, and it completely solved the “what do we do with all this paper?” problem.

The process was incredibly easy, everything worked smoothly, and the final books are amazing quality. The colors are so spot-on it genuinely looks like you’re holding the original artwork.

It’s a little expensive, but absolutely worth it. My kids love looking through their books, and I can already tell these will be keepsakes they hold onto for years.

If you’re drowning in kids’ artwork but don’t want to throw it away, this is 100% worth it.
