Now I have to say as a Nana I would proudly put him on display however Mr S would probably have other ideas 😄

I knew it was an owl...she's a creative cookie, that one :-x

[fishpieface]

Ahh, it's cute.  I can't bear to throw away things children make!

Our hall wall is covered by drawings/certificates etc that the boys made in junior school - one is now 19 and the other's halfway through senior school!  When we decorate I'll have to take them down.

i still put all lisa's christmas things up each year that she made a school 😄 but the best has to be remembering that she is almost 28 when she was about 6 she was into rugrats so she made me a rugrat mobile to hang in my bedroom and it still hangs there including the chewing gum :_|she used to stick the different things on as her glue would not work.so for the past 21 years i have had chewing gum going round in circles  on my bedroom ceiling.:O

by the way i knew it was an owl :-)and if my grandchildren made it for me i would display it for them.:-D

[ilove2patch]

It's very...............................................unique.......................and so is Tara! :-x

With 4 children close in age, eventually I selected only the best to display

That owl would be in pride of place * for a limited season only * ;-)?:|:^O

These days, I have a box of 'keeps' plus a few things around framed/displayed

Eg eldest's first (& to date only - she's 30 this year!!) piece of sewing is on the wall

OH has the thickest, heaviest, sludge green, wonky pen pot on his desk made by youngest

Note to the tooth fairy telling her that a tooth 'fell out of Mummy's pokit on the crikit pitch' 

A thank you note to the tooth fairy for leaving the 50p anyway :^O

[hightara]

i cant keep them all.............. well i do have a box in the attic belonging to all five kids.......full of stuff

this one i knew my dad would love.........to laugh at.... i told her to tell to keep a straight face and tell granny and granda she made it for them......and to put it on the tv.

my eldest here said do you not want to keep it?.............she said.......WHAT? thats too creepy:^O

[hightara]

[hightara]

[bitsnknots]

I've kept loads of things that my Goddaughter either made for me or bought for me.  Even now, she'll ask 'Who bought you that? It's horrible'  She blushes somewhat when I tell her it was her.

[**streety**]

I keep as much as I can or if i can't I take a photo of it and it's remembered that way

When my big son was in the infants they did the Greeks. Various statues were looked at and on parents evening I was presented with a clay model of a man, lovingly made, with the biggest penis you have ever....imagined!

[chickengrandma-2008]

And you've been feeling deprived all this time.:-(   Poor huggles.

[huggles1253]

😞 I have, you're right. I've never seen those proportions since.

It was so 'large' and curved, you could use it as a handle.
