A simple guide to explain how the project works
We understand just how busy schools are so we have made our Christmas Card School Project really easy and hassle free for schools, nurseries and clubs to explore their kids' creativity whilst raising funds. We send the school everything you need and all orders are completed online by the parents so the school never needs to handle any money. Our Step By Step guide below explains how it works.
We will send you a pack which contains everything you need to get started including:
Paint, draw, glue, splat! Let your kids go wild with their creations on A4 paper. This can be done in class or as a homework activity. Children can create as many artworks as they like. Even the teachers can have a go! We have created a handy Artwork Guide to get the best out of the designs.
The child brings the artwork home. The parents then upload the artwork using their camera phone or a scanner. The school no longer has to return the artwork to us for scanning. The parents order and pay online so the school never needs to handle any ordering or payments. Multiple orders can be placed for the same artwork so split families can each place their own order.This means once the children have taken the drawings home, the school does not need to do anything else until the products are delivered!
We have a great selection of cards, mugs, calendars and more for parents to personalise. See our Product Range for more information.Once the deadline has been reached, parents can no longer place orders online. We then download all the drawings the parents have uploaded and we start printing! Sadly, once we start, it is not possible to add any further orders so we recommend making the parents aware of the closing date you have chosen.
All products are made in house by our team. We send all the creations back to school by the end of the first week in December.They'll be boxed per class making it easy to distribute and a checklist to make sure you have everything. Do check the orders before they are given out to make sure you have everything.
The amount the school raises in commission depends on when we receive all the artwork ready to print. There are 3 different schedules and the school earns up to 25% from every order. See our calendar for the deadlines and commission rates. The more orders the parents place, the more fundraising the schools make. So the more you promote it to the parents, the more you can look to raise. In our experience, the schools that publicise the project to the parents with the posters and social media images we provide raise the most amount of money. Our top earning school earnt over £800 last year! It's a great way to encourage creativity and earn funds for your school. We transfer the money to the school by 21st December directly into the bank account given by the school. We have created a number of FAQs for more information.
