Children's Art Diaries Project

COMING TO YOU IN 2026

We're excited to share the journey behind our incredible collection of children's artwork from across Australia. It began as a simple call out for children's artwork, and we were blown away by the submissions from every state and territory—each piece telling a unique story through a child's eyes.

The selection process was genuinely one of the most challenging tasks our team has ever faced. We looked at three elements:

The use of colour - How children express themselves through their colour choices and combinations and how these matched our current diaries and the colours you were used to.

The developmental stage of the artist - We wanted representation across different age groups from 1 to 12 years old.

Geographical diversity - Ensuring young artists from every state and territory had their voice heard.

The Participants

We issued certificates for every entry and special recognition for our chosen artists. They were very proud, to say the least!

We are thrilled with the results and have chosen pieces for our weekly programming and reflection diaries for:

  • EYLF
  • OSHC
  • Queensland Kindy
  • Outdoor Programming Diary
  • Early Childhood Cook Diary
  • Children's Voices Diary

How amazing do they look with our new colourful internal pages!
