Pictures need to be stored in a safe place so they won’t get bent or damaged. Place them in a traditional office file folder, and sew up the sides to keep them safely tucked in. Make sure you label them clearly so you know what’s inside. And instead of simply handwriting a label, get creative. Print out a resized picture from the folder and glue it to the label tag.
Supplies:
Patterned paper, letter stickers, flowers, rub-ons alphabet and brads available at Making Memories
File folders, wire organizer and staples available at an office supply store.

Furthermore, violent video games may be more harmful than violent television and movies because they are interactive, very engrossing and require the player to identify with the aggressor, say the researchers.
