I have shown you how I have a wall featuring some of the kids drawings, today I will show you how to display the remainder of their drawings.
I love the creativity and love that my kids put into each of their drawings and the little notes they write on them, “you are the best mum, I love you”. How can I throw away a piece of paper that gives so much love? But, if I kept every bit of paper I’d have a mountain in no time. Instead, I scan the pictures and add to a digital photo frame which showcases all the drawings they have created along with their school photos.
Step 1
Gather your pile of drawings.
Step 2
Purchase a SD/Memory Card for the photo scanner and digital frame (you will only need one). Place card into the photo scanner.
Step 3
Scan the drawings. Placing the drawing facedown, I use a Kaiser Baas Photo Scanner. When scanning I write the kids name and year on a post it note and place on the drawings so I know who created it and when.
Step 4
Rotate all images so they will be displayed the correct direction. This is easily to manipulate in the menu settings.
Step 5
Once finished, remove the SD card from photo scanner and insert into the digital frame.
Step 6
Display frame and enjoy your little ones creations.
This would be a fantastic gift to give grandparents, aunts or uncles for Christmas.
