A MUM has shared her hack for getting rid of her kids’ artwork without offending them – but some parents have said it is cruel.
TikTok mum Shan Chef shared a video which showed what she does with any art her kids bring home from school.
She wrote in the caption: “Overwhelmed by your kids’ artwork? Call on the dumpster gnome!”
In the video, Shan can be seen holding what appears to be a decorated circular piece of paper.
Turning to her son, she asked: “This has got to be my favourite thing that I’ve taught my kid. Buddy, can I give this to the dumpster gnome?”
After he replied with “yes”, and asked the boy: “Ok, what does the dumpster gnome do with this?”
Her son replied: “Throws it in the garbage and then decorates their house with it.”
Shan added: “Mummy throws it in the garbage and then he decorates his house with it.”
Many people praised Shan for finding a way to throw away her kids’ artwork in a way that makes them think they are doing a good deed.

One TikToker user commented: “Achievement unlocked! Parenting level: genius.”
Another added: “We had the art fairy. My mum left out my art for her and she came in the night and took it to decorate her house.”
A third wrote: “I feel so bad when I even think about throwing away my son’s artwork! This will make us both feel better!”
However, one wrote: “As an art teacher, this makes me incredibly sad.”
