DESIGN YOUR OWN PERSONALISED KIDS PLATE FROM THEIR ARTWORK ♡
THEIR ART.
THEIR PLATE.
NO SPECIAL PENS. NO MINIMUM ORDER.
Turn your child’s drawing, painting, handwriting or gloriously abstract masterpiece into a personalised melamine plate, bowl or mug they can actually use. One tiny artist? Perfect. A whole school or kindy class? Also perfect.
✓ Child’s own artwork ✓ No special pens ✓ No special paper ✓ No minimum order ✓ Families, schools + kindies ✓ Gold Coast printed
ALLOW 2–10 WORKING DAYS FOR US TO CREATE IT ♡
This is our standard production time before dispatch. Delivery time is additional. 24-hour Rush production is available for an additional fee.
DESIGN YOUR OWN KIDS PLATE
FRIDGE DOOR, MEET DINNER TABLE. ♡
That rainbow-coloured scribble, three-legged cat, handwritten “I LOVE MUM” or family portrait where everybody has enormous heads can become something much better than a fading sheet of paper on the fridge.
Upload your child’s artwork and we’ll prepare it for printing onto their chosen personalised melamine dinnerware.
It is part everyday dinnerware, part childhood keepsake and entirely their own.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE
NO SPECIAL PENS. NO SPECIAL PAPER. NO MINIMUM ORDER. ♡
You do not need to buy special markers, special drawing sheets or special transfer paper.
Ordinary crayons, textas, pencils, paint, stamps, stickers, photos and crafty additions can all be used. Plain white or light paper works beautifully, or use our artwork outline/template if you prefer.
And there is no minimum order quantity. Order one plate for one proud little artist, several for siblings, or organise artwork for a whole class.
FOR FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, KINDIES + DAYCARE
ONE MINI PICASSO OR A WHOLE CLASS OF THEM. ♡
Families: turn a favourite drawing into a birthday gift, Christmas present, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day keepsake, grandparent gift or everyday plate.
Schools: create class artwork plates, graduation keepsakes, end-of-year gifts, special project pieces or memorable student artwork.
Kindies + daycare: turn each child’s drawing into their own personalised keepsake without needing special pens, special equipment or a minimum quantity.
Group orders are welcome. Because there is no MOQ, you are not locked into ordering a fixed number of plates just to run an art project.

HOW TO DESIGN YOUR OWN PERSONALISED PLATE
DRAW IT. SNAP IT. UPLOAD IT. WE’LL DO THE CLEVER BIT. ♡
1. Let your child create their artwork on white or light paper, or use our printable outline.
2. Keep the important artwork inside the outline if you are using our template. We resize the finished artwork to suit the selected product.
3. Encourage bold colours and clear lines. Very pale colours may not reproduce as strongly.
4. Add their handwritten name, signature, age, date or little message if you want those details preserved in the finished keepsake.
5. Scan the artwork or take a clear phone photo, then upload the file when placing your order.
YOUR ARTWORK DOES NOT NEED TO BE FANCY
CRAYONS? YES. TEXTAS? YES. STICKERS + GLITTERY BITS? ALSO YES.
The magic of a kids artwork plate is that it should actually look like their artwork—not something an adult carefully recreated for them.
Drawings, handwriting, paint, stamps, stickers, photos and collage-style artwork can all work. Strong contrast and vibrant colour usually give the clearest printed result.
PHONE PHOTO OR SCAN?
BOTH WORK. JUST LET US SEE THE ART PROPERLY. ♡
Best: scan the artwork flat at a good resolution.
Also good: place the artwork flat and photograph it straight-on in bright, even natural light.
Avoid: shadows, blur, angled photos, cropped edges and very low-resolution images.
Make sure the full artwork is visible. We’ll resize and prepare it to suit the dinnerware you choose.
SCHOOLS + KINDIES, THIS BIT IS FOR YOU
NO MOQ MAKES CLASS PROJECTS MUCH EASIER. ♡
You can create a kids artwork plate project for one child, a small group, a kindy room or an entire class without needing to hit a minimum order quantity.
Children can create their artwork using ordinary classroom supplies, which means there are no special pens or specialised paper packs to purchase before you start.
For larger groups, keep each artwork file clearly labelled with the child’s name so the right masterpiece ends up on the right product.
A CHILDHOOD KEEPSAKE THAT DOESN’T HAVE TO LIVE IN A BOX
KEEP THE WONKY PEOPLE. THE HUGE SUN. THE DOG THAT LOOKS LIKE A POTATO. ♡
Children’s drawings capture a tiny moment in who they are: the spelling, the colours, the people with fourteen fingers and the completely inexplicable scale of the family cat.
Turning that artwork into a personalised plate, mug or bowl gives you a keepsake you can keep seeing instead of quietly putting the original drawing into storage.
