Staff Picks of the Month
As spring rolls in and we approach our busiest season, we love taking a moment to appreciate the vibrant creativity pouring in from schools across Australia. September was no exception, with beautiful entries showcasing just how powerful a school tea towel fundraising project can be, bringing people together, creating lasting memories, and raising valuable funds.
Glenrowan Preschool: Full Colour Joy
We were thrilled by the submission from Glenrowan Preschool, who created a colourful masterpiece featuring individual drawings by their Tadpoles and Frogs groups. This design, printed on organic cotton tea towels, perfectly illustrates the power of personal artwork in ethical fundraising ideas that genuinely connect with parents and the wider community.
Giraffes and Giving: Inspired by Nature
Another stand-out this month was a stunning digitally printed tea towel submitted by artist Shona Menzies, featuring a graceful series of giraffes. With many of us still missing Taronga Zoo, this heartfelt tribute reminded us how much nature and children’s art can intersect in meaningful, impactful ways. These custom printed tea towels Australia are ideal for gifts, school merchandise, or community market sales, making fundraising both fun and sustainable.
