Three keys to running a successful Kids Kreations art fundraiser . . .

• Create quality artwork
  • Enlist the assistance of your school‘s art teacher or other creative adult to guide kids with the art creation process.
  • Artwork projects can be easily incorporated into lesson plans without causing distraction in curricula.
  • Help kids make attractive art creations that families want to remember on their customized keepsakes!
• Promote and advertize your artwork fundraising event.
  • Mount provided display products in high-traffic areas of your school.
  • Display products at parent attended school events (Open House, Spring Fling, Fall Festival, Play, etc).
  • Send flyers home with students to announce this art fundraising project (prior to and during the event).
  • Announce your Kids Kreations artwork fundraiser in your school‘s newspaper or email updates.
• Identify the purpose of your fundraiser
  • Let families know the goal and purpose for your profits. This way, parents are more likely to contribute!

• Have an organized, directed, age appropriate art lesson for each class.
• Ensure that each child creates an attractive piece of art in which both the student and parents want displayed on their keepsake products.
  • Flowers are great sellers.
  • Abstract art does not sell well.
  • Self portraits that do not resemble the artist will not sell.
  • Remember - Great Artwork results in Great Sales!
• Have each child in the class create the same theme of art. This promotes class unity while making it easier for teachers, art docents or parents to implement.
• No need to develop new art lessons each year.
  • Select one art lesson that works well for each grade.
  • Implement the same lesson for the same grade each year.
  • As you run your Kids Kreations art fundraiser each year, the student will create a new theme of artwork for their keepsake products as they advance.

No. Sending blank drawing paper home for completion always results in poor sales and is a waste of your time and energy! Your sales are directly related to the quality of artwork created. The best quality of artwork will be created in art class or some organized, supervised art lesson. If the art teacher is not able to assist, here are a few suggestions . .

• Implement this art fundraiser at a later date when your art teacher can help. With a little planning, this art fundraising project can be easily implemented into art lesson plans without causing interruption.
  • You may help to persuade your art teacher to participate by offering a percentage of your profits to the art program.
  • Let your art teacher know that he/she may implement this fundraiser with most of the popular lesson plans that he/she already uses.
• Enlist the help of creative teachers and/or parents with artistic talents to oversee the drawing process during study hall, homeroom or break time.
• Note: If your only option is to send blank drawing paper home for completion, then Kids Kreations is not the fundraising project for you. If this is your only choice, we encourage your organization to delay this fundraiser until you can coordinate kids artwork creation with an art teacher or other supervising adult.

We‘ve seen good results with implementing our Kids Kreations project this way. Here‘s how it works . . .

• Have children create original works of art at school, prior to your event.
• File the artwork according to the artist‘s grade or teacher, for easy access.
• Set up a Kids Kreations booth at your event, with all of our products on display.
• When parents visit your booth, retrieve their child‘s filed artwork for their viewing.
• Allow parents to complete order forms and purchase products on site.
• For families that did not attend the event, send the artwork packet home with the artist.

Note: Please let us know if you plan to implement your project this way. We can offer some helpful hints.
