Make it last forty years.
A year of your child’s school artwork – collected, preserved and framed as one heirloom collage. Returned to school, ready to hang.
It took them forty minutes.
Why we do this
Forty minutes at a little table. Forty years on your wall.
The wobbly sun. The family of stick figures holding hands. The cat that is definitely a cat. It took them forty minutes – and right now it lives in a drawer, curling at the corners.
We gather a year of their art from school, seal every piece against fading and time, and frame it as one collage – so the little artist they are today is still on your wall when they bring their own children home.

Good questions
Everything parents ask us
What exactly do I get?
One collage of your child’s artwork from the year, composed by our designers, preserved and framed behind glass in the frame you choose. Delivered back to school for you to collect.
Is everything included in the price?
Yes. Collection from school, fixative and matte varnish on every piece, collage design, custom frame, glass and return to school are all included. No hidden extras.
How do I pay?
Securely at checkout, by card or Instant EFT (Ozow) – powered by Paystack. You’ll get an order confirmation straight away, and we’ll arrange collection of the artwork with your school.
How do you preserve the artwork?
Each original is sprayed with an artist’s fixative to lock in crayon, pastel and pencil, then sealed with a protective matte varnish before it goes behind glass. It’s the same care a gallery gives a painting – so it lasts for decades, not a few summers.
How much artwork fits?
Roughly 10–15 A3 pieces in Small (A2), 20–25 in Medium (A1) and 35–40 in Large (A0). If there’s more, we’ll pick the strongest pieces and let you know.
How does collection from school work?
Your child’s school keeps their completed artwork together. We collect it directly from the school, so there’s nothing for you to post or drop off. Just add the school name and your child’s class when you order.
When will it be ready?
We’ll confirm timing with your school when we collect. We message you on the cell number you give us the moment your keepsake is back at school.
What does the white border look like?
A clean white border of about 60mm on all sides, inside the frame. The frame size stays the same – the artwork sits in a slightly smaller window with gallery-style breathing room.
Can I tell you about my child?
Please do. Add a short note about their personality, favourite things or dreams when you order – we use it when designing the collage so it feels like them.
They won't be this little for long
You create the moment. We make it last.
