• Ask teachers to carefully read the Teacher's art notes.
  
• When organising your order it is important that EACH PIECE OF ART is clearly marked with the child’s full name, class/room number and number of calendars/cards ordered and kept in class lots.
  
• Also, please return teacher and master order forms with your order.
  
• If there is more than one piece of art per child, treat each as a separate order on the teacher list e.g. Sally Brown 2,1  if she has 2 pieces of art and wants 3 calendars. If families wish to buy one calendar only, they can make a collage using one piece of our art paper as a base.
  

• It is easy to overprint the parent order forms with your details (i.e. price, return by date and email address).
  
  You can do this by using a Microsoft Word template that we have provided on our Templates page. We have created a Microsoft Word template for each variety of Parent Order form.
• After the children have completed their artwork, send one PARENT ORDER FORM home per child.
• Instruct the teachers and children to place returned PARENT ORDER FORMS and money (in envelopes), in a box marked KIDS ART WORKS calendars. Leave this box in the office until a few days after the official deadline – there will always be some stragglers.
• Ask the teachers to write the children’s FULL names and class/room number and school name on the front of each piece of art.
• Using our TEACHER ORDER FORMS or the school’s printed class lists, note the children who have paid and the number of products ordered. Collect the artwork from the teachers.
• Tape the parent order forms onto the front of the art.
Keep the artwork in separate class/room lots and attach your Teacher Order Forms.  
• Finally, fill in the MASTER ORDER FORM. If you want your school name or any other text to appear on the calendars, fill in the exact wording in the space provided.
• We suggest you keep a copy of both TEACHER and MASTER order forms in case there are any discrepancies.

• Displaying the children’s finished artwork e.g. at a parent teacher evening or fete encourages sales.
• We also suggest that teachers send home the artwork of the children who have not ordered with another reminder about the calendars/cards.
• Rather than sending the art paper home with the children, we strongly suggest that the artwork is completed in the classroom as an activity. Teachers have access to a bigger variety of art materials and can make sure that the artwork is completed and kept in a safe place.
