A few simple rules for brilliant results
Every drawing is scanned and printed exactly as the children create it, so a little care at the start makes a big difference to the finished products. These guidelines are printed on every art form too.
What to use
- Water based paint
- Coloured felt tip pens
- Coloured pencils, pressed on firmly
Bright and bold works best
How to draw
- Keep the drawing inside the box
- Draw the right way up, following the arrows
- Fill the box and colour in the background
- Leave out borders, they don’t print well
- Let paint dry fully before packing
Fill the box
Please don't
- Photocopy the art forms
- Use glitter or stick anything on
- Use metallic pens, chalk, pastels, charcoal or graphite pencils
- Fold, staple or tape the form
Keep it flat
Every art form is unique.Its code links the drawing to the child’s own products in the Parents Shop, so please don’t photocopy it. Need more forms? Email funds4school@bangonprint.co.uk and we’ll send extras.
3 Inspiration Sheets
Ideas to get little hands started
A blank box can feel daunting at any age. Our inspiration sheets give every class a starting point, with festive ideas that are simple to draw and look fantastic printed. Print as many as you like, pop one on each table, and let imaginations do the rest.
Tip: the sheets are there to spark ideas, not to be copied line for line. The designs parents treasure most are the ones that look like their child made them.
Inspiration sheets
Festive ideas for every age, from handprints and simple shapes for the youngest children to full winter scenes for older classes.

Let parents know what's coming
The more parents know in advance, the more they look forward to ordering. Our posters are ready to print and put up around school: on the gates, in the reception window and on class noticeboards. You’ll find printed copies in your project pack, and you can download more here.
Best times to put them up: when artwork time begins, and again on the day the personalised postcards go home.
