When my children were in primary school, they brought hom a lot of their art work and beautiful creations. I had a boot/shoe box for each child. After displaying their work for a while, we took it down and saved it in their boot boxes. When the county fair came around, they pulled out their boot box and picked out what they wanted to enter in the art exhibit. They were so proud of their accomplishements and anticipatied the opening night when they could go and see what ribbons each of their entries had earned. They even go a few dollars of prize money that they enjoyed at the fair!
