Photograph each finished drawing. We clean the shadow and the kitchen-light yellow off the paper without touching a single line your child drew, lay the twelve entries out as a customer catalogue, and hand you a print-ready PDF.

Printing, drawing, uploading and layout are all free. You pay only if you want the finished file.

Questions about these ideas

Do the dinosaurs have to be accurate?
Absolutely not. A dinosaur holding four plates is not a species, and that is the point of the theme.
How long does a booklet take to finish?
Most families do two or three pages a sitting and finish in a couple of weeks. There is no deadline and nothing expires.
Can we print the sheets more than once?
Yes, as many times as you like. Printing and re-printing costs nothing.
