Children's Art Series

The Children’s Art Series by Butler Diaries

Where imagination meets documentation.

The Children’s Art Series is a celebration of children’s creativity and the vibrant role of art in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). Each diary design features artwork created by children across Australia, bringing the wonder of self-expression into the hands of educators every day.

This series connects art, reflection, and learning — reminding educators that children’s perspectives are at the heart of every program and that creativity is a powerful tool for communication, belonging, and identity.

Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF v2.0), My Time, Our Place (MTOP v2.0), and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG), each diary supports intentional programming while honouring children’s voices in line with Quality Area 1 and Quality Area 5 of the National Quality Standard (NQS).

In This Collection

• Programming & Reflection Diaries – EYLF, MTOP, and QKLG-aligned diaries for Long Day Care, OSHC, and Kindergarten settings.
  
• Children’s Voices Diary – A dedicated space to capture children’s ideas, voices, and perspectives throughout the year.
