    Selection of motifs – drawings and photos of your children

    Depending on how many drawings of your child you have already collected, you can, for example, pick out the most beautiful ones or even sort the motifs according to season and occasion: flowers and ladybugs for spring, sunflowers and butterflies for summer, a pumpkin and a hedgehog for autumn, and a snowman and Christmas tree for winter. The ifolor Wall calendar is best suited for this because it is available in many different formats and offers plenty of space for your design and decoration.

    Tip

    Add natural materials to the calendar sheets later to make them look even more lively. Collect natural things like moss, leaves and small flowers together with your child, dry them and use them later to decorate the calendar sheets.

    To make the Photo calendar even more varied, you can also add aptly selected photos of your child and photos of beautiful family experiences. Switch between full-page drawings and photos every month, or insert small collages of photos and drawings using the picture placeholders.

    Digitize children's drawings with the smartphone

    How to digitize your children's drawings

    The conventional way of digitizing your children’s drawings and handicrafts is by using a scanner that is connected to your computer. Before you scan the kids' drawings, check the settings for the file format in which the images are saved. In order to be able to use the files later for the design of your calendar, the scanned images should be saved as photo files (.jpg). After a few clicks, you will have your child's drawings as digital photos on your hard drive.

    Alternatively, you can also take pictures of the artworks with your smartphone or camera. This is how you can have the drawings saved directly as image files. When you take pictures of the drawings, make sure that there is good lighting and avoid reflections. Certain papers and some colours create a very smooth surface that directly reflects incident light and flash light. A bright place at the window without direct sunlight is ideal for taking pictures of the drawings. There are also apps that can make it easier for you to digitize the drawings.
