Preserving children's art

Collecting your child’s artwork is a special way to capture memories and celebrate their creativity. Instead of letting drawings and paintings disappear into a drawer or on the fridge, you can preserve them in a meaningful way without taking up a lot of storage space . In this blog, you’ll learn how to collect , organize, and display children’s art—with practical tips and creative ideas.

Why preserve children's art?

Children’s art is more than just cute doodles. It’s a reflection of how a child experiences the world, grows, and learns. By consciously preserving artwork, you create a tangible journal of their development. Let your child help decide which pieces to keep, and write the date and a short description next to each piece. This way, you’re not only capturing their artistic growth, but also the stories behind each piece.

Bundle children's drawings in a book

One of the best ways to preserve children's art is to make a book. Scan or photograph your favorite works and put them together in a professionally designed book. Add quotes, stories or small anecdotes to make it personal. This creates a lasting document - fun for now and valuable for later. Tiny Gallery is happy to help you with that.

Create a mini gallery in your home

Create your own 'Tiny Gallery' at home: a piece of wall where your child can display his or her artwork. Use frames, clips or a pin board, and change the works regularly. Let your child choose what to hang and add small cards with titles or explanations. This way, their art gets a place of honor and they feel proud and encouraged to continue creating.

Creative Ways to Use Children's Art

There are countless ways to bring children's art to life. Consider:

• Print on mugs, cushions or calendars

• A digital photo frame with scanned drawings

• A display cabinet for 3D creations made of clay or papier-mâché

• Seasonal installations with works from spring, summer, autumn or winter

Choose what suits your family, interior and creative preferences.
