There seems to be a lot of back and forth with the Free Sticker Program. Please further explain this art fundraising program that you offer.
With our Free Sticker Fundraiser, parents can preview their child’s artwork on a personalized brochure and free set of stickers. Also, parents can purchase products online.
The Free Sticker Fundraiser does require an extra step, however, in our years of experience, sales greatly increase - especially for larger organizations (over 100 students).
How can my organization maximize sales?
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 advertise 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, School 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, social media pages, 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!
My school does not have an art program, so teachers, art docents or parents will be guiding student art projects in class. What suggestions do you have for helping students create their artwork?
- Ensure teacher and student understand the goal is to create an attractive piece of art that both student and family will 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 an organized, directed, age-appropriate art lesson for each class.
- For each class, choose and use a single art theme. 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.
- This way, students will automatically create art of a different theme every year, providing variety for their keepsake products.
- Visit our age-appropriate Pinterest Boards for a wide selection of art lesson plans
The art teacher in our school will not be able to help with this project. Can we just send the blank drawing paper home for students to complete there?
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, art creation sessions for this fundraiser can be incorporated into the art curriculum and run as regular art classes.
- 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 find a suitable supervisor for your art creation sessions.
My school‘s annual Parent‘s Night has a great parent turn out. Could we sell the Kids Kreations products at our event?
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.
What products do you offer?
Please refer to the Online Store. We are continually adding new items and encourage requests for future products. Many of our products were developed in our print shop and are unique to Kids Kreations.
Do you offer assistance in promoting the Kids Kreations fundraiser?
- Yes! We will send you free promotional materials. Advertise your art fundraising event by displaying these products at your school‘s Fall Festival, Spring Fling, Book Fair or Family Night. When your event is over, display the items in a high traffic area of your school - foyer, cafeteria, office, etc.

In order to prevent damage to artwork, Kids Kreations will usually package art by grade and not individual student bags.

- Don‘t forget to write the child‘s name and date on these precious keepsakes.
- View Artwork Projects for more ideas, examples and lesson plans.
By offering many different products, I am concerned this may cause confusion during the ordering process. Should my organization offer just a couple of products?
Remember that people have varying tastes and preferences. By offering a variety of products, we are able to target more people. Through many years of experience, Kids Kreations has found that organizations offering all of our products gain much larger profits. Parents find our brochure & order form to be very organized & user friendly. And remember, we prepackage all of the orders so there is less for you to do!
Can calendar orders be placed in the middle of the year?
Yes. Depending on the time of the year, Kids Kreations will design your 14-month calendar displaying the appropriate months.
