Children's Artwork Gift

A little drawing. A gift they can keep.

Turn your child's picture into a personalised children's artwork gift for someone they love. This A4 wooden artwork plaque has your chosen words engraved above and below a blank drawing area, ready for little artists to fill with their own colours, characters and ideas.

Make a colourful picture for Mummy, a rocket for Daddy, a house for Grandma or a kite for Grandad. From a first family portrait to a cheerful flower garden, the artwork is theirs to create. Your words give it a personal finishing touch, and the included wooden stand makes it easy to display.

You receive one plaque with your wording engraved and the drawing area left blank. Children add the artwork at home. The gallery shows decorated examples for different recipients; it is not a set of four. Crayons, pencils, paints and styling props are not included.

A children's artwork gift for their favourite person

Choose the family name your child actually uses. The recipient options include Daddy, Mummy, Dad, Mum, Grandad, Grandpa, Grandma, Granny, Uncle and Auntie. Select Custom for another name or title, such as Nana, Nanny, Papa, a godparent or a teacher.

A child-made picture makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for Mum or Grandma, a Father's Day gift for Dad or Grandad, or a birthday surprise for an auntie or uncle. It also works as a Christmas keepsake from the grandchildren, a thank-you gift or a small present made simply because your child wants to make someone smile.

The design stays focused on their artwork: natural wood, a fine engraved border and your own message. There is no need to choose a different product just because the recipient or occasion changes.

How to personalise your wooden artwork plaque

1. Choose who it is for. Pick the matching recipient from the menu. Select Custom if your preferred name or title is not listed.
2. Enter the complete top wording. Include the recipient in this field, for example A drawing for Grandma or Happy Birthday Uncle James. This is the wording engraved above the drawing area.
3. Add the optional bottom wording. Enter a short message, the child's name or names, a sign-off and a date only if wanted. Use a new line where you would like a line break. Leave this field blank for no bottom engraving.
4. Check your details. Review names, spelling, punctuation and dates before placing your order. We use the wording you submit; no extra greeting, message, sender or date is added automatically.

The personalisation graphic in the gallery shows where the wording goes. Short messages leave the lettering more space. For a precise arrangement or longer wording, please contact us before ordering. A wording preview is available on request.

Create their picture at home

Place the plaque flat on a protected surface and let your child work within the engraved border. Crayons and colouring pencils are a simple way to add a colourful scene, a family portrait, flowers, a favourite animal or their own imaginative doodles. You could sketch the idea on paper first, or let them draw freely.

Two or more children can make a shared picture and have all their names engraved underneath. For a grandparent's gift, try a picture of the grandchildren together. For Mum or Dad, your child could draw something they enjoy doing together. The charm comes from their own marks and ideas.

If you prefer craft paint, choose a medium suitable for wood, use light coats and let it dry fully. Test your chosen materials discreetly first; results can vary with the wood grain and art supplies. Keep the engraved words clear and avoid soaking the plywood. Always supervise children during decorating.

Ready for a favourite shelf

Once the artwork is finished, place the plaque in its included wooden stand. It can sit on a desk, mantelpiece, shelf or sideboard as a reminder of the person who made it. The wood's natural grain gives each piece a slightly different appearance.

This is a decorative indoor keepsake. Keep it dry, handle it carefully and dust with a soft dry cloth. It is a wooden surface to draw on, rather than a glass-fronted frame or an erasable drawing board.
