Rather than having a "don't touch" mentality, try handing over those birthday figurines to a kid or friend and starting a creative project with them. By the time you're finished "growing" an indoor sculpture garden, you'll have relived many of your life's precious moments with a friendly youth and helped preserve the value of the collectibles that accompanied them. An enhanced, sentimental look for your home is the desired effect and the process will help teach young ones the emotional and monetary reasons for becoming a collector.

Rather than having a "don't touch" mentality, try handing over those birthday figurines to a kid or friend and starting a creative project with them. By the time you're finished "growing" an indoor sculpture garden, you'll have relived many of your life's precious moments with a friendly youth and helped preserve the value of the collectibles that accompanied them. An enhanced, sentimental look for your home is the desired effect and the process will help teach young ones the emotional and monetary reasons for becoming a collector.
The value of your collectibles isn't only in the fact that one of the kids hasn't broken them yet, but rather in the original creation of each masterpiece and the occasion which sparked you to buy it in the first place. Each minute detail expresses beauty and a story of craftsmanship that will be brought out by displaying the pieces creatively within an indoor sculpture garden.
Life's most precious moments are emotional, and collectibles such as a well-crafted birthday figurine can capture and bring back feelings from younger days. Adults who are good caretakers of collectibles will help youths around them to preserve the mementos that encapsulate those feelings and allow them to last forever. It can be fun and fulfilling to invite a child to assist with your indoor sculpture garden, or to help one get started on creating their own.
Because these collections will often pass to younger generations down the road, a lesson in maintaining value presents itself as each piece for your indoor sculpture garden is removed from its box. Retain the original packaging and explain to your kids why this is important; perhaps you even want to add paper notes to the original container indicating whose it is, when and where it was purchased and the details that make it is so special.
After the packaging is safely stored, myriad ideas may zoom through a collector's head. Whether working with youth or not, a clever and theme-focused design will make the project more smooth and the results more astonishing. One idea for arranging collectibles includes grouping them in smaller arrangements by size, color or category. This way, the garden's visitors will see the collection on a more meaningful level.
To some, the thought of not only removing collectibles such as Precious Moments from their packaging and displaying them outwardly might be worrisome. A locked curio cabinet may be the best option in this case. With an indoor sculpture garden protected by glass doors, it can actually be easier to control lighting and pieces are generally easier to reach for dusting and rearranging.
Over time, your indoor sculpture garden may experience many design changes, but the overall treatment and storage of each piece should persist: take care to keep pieces in dry places. Just as the memory of life's precious moments can be priceless, each piece can continue to recreate those memories for generations to come if cared for and displayed properly.
