✓ What works best

  • Go big and bold! Large designs that fill the space look fantastic.

  • Use bright colours with bold felt tips or poster paint so everything really pops.

  • Leave a clear border around the edges and corners—this keeps important details safe.

  • Top left section: Please complete this area in black ink and block capitals on behalf of the children.

❌ What to avoid

  • Very small drawings or light scribbles (they can get lost).

  • Pencil or very pale colours—they won’t show up well.

  • Writing or drawing in the corners or near the edges.

  • Painting or drawing over the black border—anything past it will be trimmed off.

If you stick to these tips, your artwork will print beautifully and look just as special as it deserves. Have fun creating - we’re excited to see what you make!
