Preserve child's artwork on canvas, transforming their creations into a timeless piece of art

What to Do with All Those Kids' Artworks

When your child brings home their very first artwork, it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. It gets prime position on the fridge, dated, stamped, and laminated. But fast-forward a few years, and you’ve likely got hundreds of drawings and paintings cluttering up your study. What do you do with them all? Here are some fun and creative tips on how to preserve and display your kids’ artwork.

Make Their Own Wall Collage

Who says kids’ paintings aren’t worth framing and displaying? Brighten up their room by framing their artwork in various sizes and shapes, and create a beautiful wall collage. Matching frames can tie the look together! For a dramatic effect, scan their favorite pieces and print them as large canvas prints. Celebrate their creativity in style!

Make a Set of Placemats

You don’t have to keep every piece of paper. Scan your child’s drawings and print them onto placemats. This adds a personal touch to your dining table and is far more exciting than the standard beige sets from home stores.

Make Posters

Scan the images and print them as large-format posters. These are perfect for playrooms or as fun gifts for their friends. Plus, posters are easy to transport and store – they roll up without damage!

Create a Kids' Art Book

Spend a day photographing all their artworks, then arrange the pictures by date, color, or theme. Use these photos to create a photobook of your kids’ art. This keeps their masterpieces safe for years to come – and can even be passed down to their children one day.

Turn Them into Baubles

Take photos of their artwork and transform them into Christmas baubles. These are perfect gifts for family members and a great way to cherish your favorite drawings every holiday season.

Make a Giant, Arty Pinboard

Install a large pinboard in your home and dedicate it to your child’s artwork. Pin up each picture, along with mementos like ticket stubs, receipts, and photos. Over time, it will become a unique, contained collage of wonderful memories and a piece of art on its own.
