Use creative children's drawings for photo gifts

Strong colours, creative chaos and boundless imagination: Your children's little works of art are certainly colourful and uplifting. The best thing about it: hanging your children’s masterpieces on the wall is easy. We will show you how to digitize children's drawings and how to stage them to perfection.

All you need is a scanner. If you don't have one, that’s OK: a modern smartphone or a digital camera will also give really good results.

Tip

Put your child's drawing on a white surface and photograph the drawing 1:1. If this is not possible due to the aspect ratio of the original, select a larger section and then crop the picture with a photo editing program.

Use your kids' digitized artwork to create a unique photo gift. The designs are only limited by your imagination. How about a unique Desk Calendar or a cute Photo Mug? Of course, decorated with your children's unique drawings.

An eye-catcher at the breakfast table, during afternoon coffee or even as a pen holder: the photo mug, designed by your children. With several drawings, you can easily create a photo mug set for the whole family. Use our online editor to design your photo mug and choose the appropriate alignment. Our photo mug offers enough space for one or more works of art.

The grandparents will be especially pleased with a Photo Calendar made from their grandchildren's drawings - it also makes a great gift for Christmas. We have many different calendar templates to choose from. A chic wall calendar shows off the little ones' works in the best light. With our kitchen calendar, you always have an eye on important dates, just like with our practical desk calendar for the desk. You can find more inspiration here.

Tip

Handwritten messages are a welcome change to the usual emails and text messages, especially during the Christmas season. A photo greeting card with a child's drawing stands out amongst the usual daily mail in the letterbox.

Particularly enthusiastic little artists collect many masterpieces over time. Dedicate a whole Photo Book to them tagged with the creation date, a snappy title, or even a small story connected to the picture. Keep your child's creative pictures alive and create a very special memento that the little artist can enjoy when they are older. On top of that, grandparents would love a Photo Book full of pictures and memories of their grandchildren.

How about photo coasters to preserve your children's artwork forever? The useful cork coasters are perfect protection against glass rings on the table, and they add a personal touch to any table decoration. They are also ideal for your next children's birthday party: Just have your child draw a picture for each of their friends at the party. The photo coasters are perfect as a unique gift for the guests.

If you want to go on a time travel: All this also works with the drawings you created as a child. Maybe you are still looking for a gift for your parents?
