Meet Kiddo Life - Where kids help kids!

Kiddos Making Art to Make a Difference!

Kiddo Life is a socially conscious company that empowers children to share their creativity and messages through art and partake in charitable giving. You might be surprised how much they see about what's going on around them, yet don't have the language to express. Art opens those channels of communication.

Kiddo Life is dedicated to working with kids, families, and organizations to inspire communication and personalization through art, turn that art into apparel and accessories and share that message with the world. The best part: 35% of the purchase price goes directly to one of their partner charities.

How Does it Work?

Each time a child submits a piece of art, it is turned into an art t-shirt, clothing or accessory for them to wear. 35% of the purchase price is donated to charity. Anytime someone in the world orders a shirt using the same art work, 35% is again donated.

Children can share their favourite art piece, or they can share their message and know through this creation and purchase how they are helping others.

Step 1

Select your favourite works of art and upload it to our their site and use it to create your 'One of a Kind Art Shirt.

Step 2

Select the correct t-shirt style, upload your kiddo's masterpiece and size it to the shirt. Add text if you desire!

If you want design help, or would like your image corrected, they will be more than happy to help! 

Step 3

Select the charitable group you wish to donate to when you order your t-shirt... for you and your parents (or group). You will receive your shirt within just a few days! 

Must importantly, the charities they work with serve our very own Calgary! So, what are you waiting for...
