Protects and Preserves Artwork

The My Art Expandable File encourages kids to use their imaginations and create their own original artwork while providing a compact storage solution for parents who want to preserve and protect their child's work. Like a professional artist's portfolio, the My Art file includes plenty of space to store everything from scribble scrabble to mosaics--whatever your budding artist comes up with. A total of nine expandable pockets hold sheets measuring up to 12 by 18 inches.

Keeps Art Organized

The My Art file makes it easy to keep track of your child's artwork through the years. The nine folders include tabs where you can note the date, your child's age and grade, or the type of art (drawings, paintings, collages, etc.).

Reduces Clutter and Encourages Good Habits

This file makes it easy to control clutter and to teach children to clean up and care for their creations. Little hands can easily slide papers in the folders, and parents won't have to worry about papers scattered throughout the house.

Easy Personalization

One fun feature of the My Art file is that it can be personalized. Kids can choose a photo to slide in the front plastic pocket to show that they're the artist behind all the beautiful art within.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea- A Bit Flimsy April 6, 2008

By willow

Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars   

I was really happy to finally have a place to put all of my daughter's projects. The concept of the Art Storage Case is a great one with accordian files inside for separating work into months, years, types. However, my daughter, being eager to "review" her work picked it up on her own and opened the whole case with a bit too much zest. The side has already ripped. It is only a thick paper for the accordian sides so I am not suprised. It will do for now but I am on the lookout for something more durable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Looking Art Storage Case May 29, 2007

We bought this portfolio to store my daughter's many art projects from pre-school. It is very cute and just the right size to store various sizes. We keep it out so the art work can easily slip into the folders. I am very pleased with this item and recommend it to anybody looking for a good looking art portfolio for your little one.

This is a great place to store the kids artwork and/or school papers for each grade. I have my children choose which school papers they value most at the end of the year and we put it inside labeled per grade.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough pockets for each grade so you will have to double up.

My only complaint is that although the pockets expand to a good enough size, once it gets to a certain point, the front cardboard piece starts to peel away from the pockets and thus it is no longer together.

This is perfect for what I was looking for. I have a 5 yr old and wanted something to keep some of her art work in. This is big enough for oversized pages but yet compact and easy to organize. It has 9 or 10 sections so I am planning on putting art work from each year in different sections. The outside seems sturdy. I went ahead and ordered another one for my two year old to have in the future.

I bought this because my 3yr old's artwork from her 1st year of pre-school was all over the place, in drawers, in piles on the counter, underneath magazines in a basket etc. So now the pieces I've chosen to save for posterity are neatly contained in one place. I love it! I don't really give the file to my daughter to explore at this point. She just turned 4 and is more heavily into the "creation of art" phase in her childhood. I'm the one already in cherish mode. Sure, some things still get hung on the fridge for a while, but evetually I put the finer examples of her creativity in here. I'll be buying another one soon.

This is very handy to have if you have a budding artist who loves to paint. I find it an easy way to store her paintings, it keeps them flat and safe from wear and tear. It is also great for carrying paintings to grandparents house for sharing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Storage for Art January 28, 2008

By A Mom in Maryland

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

This is a great storage piece for art of all sizes! It's bright so it really catches the eye for our little one. She loves to put her "art" projects in all the different compartments. I would recommed this. My little one is only 3 and she can do projects all day so to have somewhere she can put them is helpful to me as well.
