Holiday gifts from children's artwork
Make holiday gifts from children’s artwork together: handmade cards, framed drawings, a family art album, and a Little Binder gift subscription.
How-to guides
Children make more than single drawings. A recipe has ingredients and steps. A holiday card has a front and an inside. A comic tells a story across pages. Every creation can carry the child's own voice. Use voice notes, multi-part capture, and family spaces to keep every part together and build a family archive that grows over time.

Store children’s artwork with a paper portfolio, a keepsake box, and digital copies. A practical family guide to saving drawings and finding them again.
Saved the same creation twice? Choose the one to keep in the gallery, then bring the duplicate together with it.
A story can get another page, a card can have an inside, and a project can grow. Keep the new parts together with the creation you already saved.
Save your child's artwork and the story behind it in Little Binder. Keep the scribbles and the masterpieces, and decide about the paper later.

Open a creation in Gallery. Open the three dots beside Share, then choose Add a frame or Change the frame. Search and choose a frame in the live preview.
Keep a creation out of the gallery without erasing it. Put away stops sharing, and a grown-up can bring the creation back later.
Make a reusable frame for your family’s creations. Give it a transparent middle, then arrange the creation and frame together in the preview.
Removing a child profile can be undone. Permanent deletion can't. See how each one works, including how to delete only one child's creations and keep their profile.
Twenty years from now, ask for “all the birthday cards my children made me” and see every one. Search by child, space, date, age, or words, spoken or typed.

Your copy to keepShow only the creations that have no voice note yet, open one, and add the child's voice in a few taps.
Add their voiceKeep the exact voice Little Binder uses for your child's name as an audio file you can play anywhere, and put a saved copy back whenever you want.
A voice you can keepSend a creation to an approved person such as Grandma, right when you save it or later. Choose who, stop any time, and keep the rest private.
Private sharingA small picture of your child that shows beside their creations. Take one or choose one, crop it on your device, and remove it any time.
Family portraitsThe paper is gone, but the story isn't. The image and voice note stay safe, and a free home reprint brings the moment back to the wall.
Reprints and recoveryMost creations have more than one side, page, or step. Save them all together as one creation, with voice notes for the whole thing and for each part. The starting point for recipe books, holiday cards, comic books, and science projects.
Multi-part captureAsk what they made, then keep the answer with the creation. Their recording stays just as they said it. If you turn on voice-note transcription, Little Binder can also write out their words.
Voice notesIt mostly comes down to good light and holding still. Four habits that help the creation in the gallery look like the one on the fridge.
Photo tipsCards, recipes, schoolwork, stories, and building projects can each have a family space. A child can name a space during capture and use it right away. A grown-up can rename or remove it later.
SpacesCapture the cover, ingredients, each cooking step, and the finished dish. Keep it all in one multi-part creation with voice notes for the tricky parts.
Multi-part captureSave the front, inside message, decorations, and the child reading the card out loud. Every birthday card, Christmas card, and Mother's Day card stays together.
Multi-part captureEach panel or page becomes a part in order, with the child narrating the story. The cover stays first, and the comic reads like a picture book in the gallery.
Multi-part captureCapture the hypothesis, setup, observations, and results at each stage, then let the child explain what they were testing. Perfect for school projects and curiosity experiments.
Multi-part captureSave individual drawings and paintings as single creations, then group them in a space like "Masterpieces" or "Art Class" to build a growing portfolio over the year.
Spaces & single captureFor a block tower, a Lego castle, or a cardboard fort, capture the plan, the building process, and the finished creation before it comes apart. Add a voice note describing what it is.
Multi-part captureA small collection for parents, grandparents and teachers. Choose something to make together, print what you need, and keep the story behind it.
