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.

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.

Its great for keeping all the papers and artwork together. Less clutter around the house. Great idea.

I purchased this for my son (who LOVES to draw) so that we'd have a place to store his pictures after they did their time on the fridge. I love the size of it - can store those pieces that are on unusually shaped paper or even long pieces of paper. I just wish it actually snapped closed or something - the top is open like an expanding file. To actually save his pictures for the long-term I'm going to have to invest in something else so they don't yellow/fade.

I bought this to store all my 4 year old son's artwork from preschool. It is large enough to hold over-sized papers and the outside is pretty sturdy. My only complaint is that I would prefer it to expand a bit more. You accumulate lots of art over the course of a school year! But overall, this is really helpful.

My son is now 3 years old and he loves drawing at home and at the day care. I honestly didn't know where else to store all of his art work. Now everytime he brings a nice drawing at home, we write his name on the back, the date and we store it in the art portfolio. His drawing are now safer, more organized and stored.

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!

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.
