Get Creative this Summer with KidzCanDesign

With the Independence Day holiday now behind us and summer officially in full swing, many families are taking this time to remember the importance of education. While summertime is certainly all about time off, playing, and having fun, it is our job as parents to remember to work some sort of education into the mix even if it is play based. Oftentimes, our kids do this on their own through creativity and by simply using their imaginations but we can always offer a bit of encouragement as well. For example, we purchased a pool earlier this summer and, just the other day, my oldest brought me a paper model version of it after spending some time crafting. While it may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, he was utilizing and exercising his mind while doing so. From the use various shapes and colors to the thought process that went into making his project three dimensional, that fifteen minute art project unintentionally turned into a day’s worth of learning about geometrics. And this all came to be because of a little creativity.

Kids are creative by nature. They aren’t afraid to push the limits, to color outside of the lines. They thrive when they’re given the opportunity to just go for it. Whether they’re constructing their very own paper swimming pool or simply designing a sketch full of scribbles, allowing them to embrace their creative powers makes them feel like superheroes and rightfully so. Kids need to know that their creativity, no matter its form, has worth. It’s on the walls, plastered on the refrigerator, tucked away safely for future enjoyment, scattered on the table, scribbled on the chalkboard, and then some. Aside from the obvious, another thing that the kids like to do is create personal keychains for on-the-go. How many of you are familiar with those little photo keychains that usually come included with the purchase of a photo package (the mall Santa and Easter Bunny sets for example)? We have far too many of them to count but now, instead of housing photos that are from years past, they hold mini drawings crafted by our boys.

While this gives the kids the luxury of being able to change out and update their drawing whenever they see fit, over time, the constant changing of the images has loosened the faceplate and has left us with lost images from time to time. Now, what if I told you that you could use this same child designed keychain idea but mix it with a more permanent (and giftable!) solution?

For that, please allow me to introduce you to KidzCanDesign.

KidzCanDesign is a lovely company that transforms your child’s artwork into stunningly beautiful silver pieces to be work as jewelry or, yes, even used as keychains!

At KidzCanDesign, we specialize in converting your child’s work of art, photos, handprints, foot prints into a high quality sterling silver custom jewelry which can then be worn with pride by any member of the family. If you can imagine it and send it to us, we can then, to your delight, create a one of a kind piece that your son, your daughter, or you, the parent, can then wear or display with pride.

While the macaroni necklaces and cereal bracelets are certainly adorable, KidzCanDesign offers children a new platform for creativity. Not only can they draw, paint, or color the umpteenth picture of the day but they can add their prints to it, write their name, or even just snap a quick selfie (perfect for those preteens!). From there, the lovely folks over at KidzCanDesign can truly turn that work, that creativity, that “design” into an amazing work of art to be cherished for years to come.

With everything from pendants, charms, nameplates and signatures, necklaces, bracelets, and signature pendants and necklaces to dog tags, bookmarks, and even keychains, there is something for everyone and for every occasion.

When I was first approached with the opportunity to partner with the KidzCanDesign brand, I immediately called my own kids over to introduce them to the various products. After looking through the selection and browsing the example pieces from other children, they decided on the dog tag.

In hopes to surprise Daddy for his birthday, the kids went right to work designing their “super special” gift with help from KidzCanDesign because, after all, kids can design.

We started this labor of love in January of 2013 and have since shipped out thousands of one-of-a-kind pieces to families across the world. We are honored that so many families have chosen to share special moments with us and are proud to have been able to create something unique for them.
