Either way, in-class photos can be a wonderful way to record key childhood moments. As you wrangle a hairbrush, polish their school shoes, and smooth out their uniforms, you’re capturing memories you can look back on for years to come.
Ready to start your scavenger hunt adventure? This is your chance to turn this half-term into memories that will last a lifetime.
But what do you do with those precious photos once they arrive? In days gone by, you filled out a form to get printed pictures in cardboard frames but many school photography companies now offer digital downloads. So instead of tucking them away in a drawer, why not get creative with how you display them? From wall art to photo books read on for some inspiration.
Celebrating the end of school
Displaying your child's end-of-school-year photos can be a great way to commemorate their achievements and growth over the year. These photos capture significant milestones, reflecting both their academic and personal development. Imagine looking back at their first day of school, their smile missing a front tooth, and then seeing their beaming face on the last day, proudly holding up a certificate or a special project.
Displaying your child’s school photos at home or sharing them with family can also show how proud you are, instilling confidence and a positive attitude towards education.
What makes a photo scavenger hunt a good kids' activity?
Why stick to the usual routine when you can introduce an activity that sparks your kids' creativity? A scavenger hunt is a clever way to get them thinking outside the box, moving around, and they may even pick up a few photography skills along the way.
Imagine them exploring the great outdoors or hunting for hidden gems around the house, camera in hand, ready to capture everything from the floor to ceiling. It’s also a great lesson in creativity and photography. And the best part? The fun and excitement don’t have to stop there. You can turn these digital memories into something they can hold onto in the form of Personalised Photo Books, Shacolla, and Poster Prints.
How to display your child’s school photos
With a range of sizes on offer, our Premium Canvas Prints are a great way to turn school photos into family art. Ideal for group photos of siblings as well as solo portraits, a canvas photo makes the perfect addition to your hallway or living room. We always use high-quality canvas and inks to make sure the colours stay vibrant and the image remains sharp. The result? A canvas featuring all your favourite people, designed to last.
These canvases also come ready to hang, making it easy to showcase your favourite pictures from school photo day without any hassle.
If you want to display pictures in something a little different, take a look at our Acrylic Photo Blocks, Kids will love seeing the sparkles in our Glitter Shaker Photo Block or watching the snow particles drift in our Snowflake Photo Block.
These blocks also make great gifts for family members, offering a keepsake for aunts, uncles, and grandparents to see how well your little one is getting on at school.
Of course, if you do prefer the classic appeal of photo frames, why not create a gallery wall? Setting out your gallery of photos above your staircase can be a fantastic way to see your children grow up — start with reception photos above the bottom step, followed by year one photos on the step above, and add to the collection as every school year passes.
Our Framed Photos are available in portrait or landscape layouts and in a range of sizes. Choose your frame colour to suit your home’s decor — select from sleek black, warm oak, or crisp and modern white. This allows you to create a cohesive and stylish display that complements your interior design while celebrating your child's educational milestones.
Make everyday items special by turning school photos into magnets. What better way to remember your favourite photos than by seeing them every time you open the fridge?
Each of our pocket-sized Framed Photo Magnets is printed on FUJIFILM Original Photographic Paper for vibrant colour reproduction. You can choose a set of magnets featuring the same photo — ideal for sharing end-of-school memories with your child’s grandparents and other family members — or use a different photo for each magnet. This can be a great option for families with multiple children. These magnets are not only functional but also a fun way to keep memories in sight, adding a personal touch to your home environment.
Alternatively, let your child’s smiling face brighten up your morning as you enjoy a coffee from one of our Custom Ceramic Mugs. These mugs feature a bold inner coating — choose from blue, red, and yellow — and make excellent family gifts.
High-quality printing ensures that the photo remains clear and vibrant, even after multiple washes, making these mugs a practical and heartwarming addition to your daily routine. To get the best results from your design, take a look at our top tips for creating a personalised mug.
Do you have a host of school photos from over the past few years? Collate them in a photo book to create an album that showcases their growth. Our Easy Photo Books have 20 pages and are a fast and straightforward way to put best-loved memories in one place. Each page features a smooth lustre finish, showcasing your child’s school photos in striking depth of colour. You can choose from six sophisticated vinyl covers, designed to keep your photos.
Our Mini Photo Books are another great choice. Petite yet perfectly formed, these square photo books are designed with a lay-flat binding, making it convenient to peruse your pictures. They’re just as easy to put together, too — you can even design your photo book on your smartphone!
