Design Your Own Mug — Free Kids Templates
Printable templates to inspire your child's creativity at home — and turn their masterpiece into a real mug.
Bring your child's imagination to life.
These free printable mug templates are designed for children aged 5–12 to draw, colour, and personalise their very own designs — completely screen-free, with nothing more than felt pens, coloured pencils, or crayons.
Once your child has created their masterpiece, you can upload it to us and we'll print it on a real, quality mug — ready to keep, use every morning, or give as a genuinely personal gift. It's fun, it's easy, and it's the kind of creative afternoon that produces something your family will actually treasure.
Suitable for children aged 5–12. No artistic experience needed — just imagination and a pack of felt pens.
Three simple steps
-

Grab the free templates below and print them at home. Then let your child get creative — felt pens, coloured pencils, crayons. Whatever they love.
-
Upload Your Design
Once their artwork is finished, scan it or take a clear photo and upload it using our simple upload form. We'll take it from there.
-
Receive a Real Mug
We print your child's design onto a quality mug and post it straight to your door — ready to use every morning, or wrap up as a gift they designed themselves.
Four beautifully designed templates — each one a different prompt to spark a different kind of imagination. Print as many as you like, as many times as you like.
What's in the free template pack
My Superpower
Draw yourself as a superhero — because every child is one. What's your power? Kindness, speed, drawing, making people smile? Add your superhero name and design your very own logo.
My Happy Place
Create a picture of the place that makes you feel most like you. The beach, the park, your bedroom, outer space — wherever it is, fill it with everything that makes you smile.
Animal Friends
Design your favourite animal — real or entirely made up. Give it brilliant colours, a name that suits its personality, and maybe even a speech bubble saying something funny or kind.
My Dream Mug
Design the mug of your dreams — the one you'd want to see every single morning. Stars, rainbows, hearts, favourite words, inside jokes. If it means something to you, it belongs on here.

Love what they made? Turn it into a real mug.
Once your child has finished their template design, we can turn it into a proper, printed ceramic mug — the exact same quality we use at our parties and workshops. Just scan or photograph their artwork, upload it to us, and we'll handle everything else.
It makes an extraordinary gift — a grandmother's birthday mug, a teacher's end-of-term present, or simply something your child uses every morning and beams about. There is nothing quite like the look on a child's face when they hold something real that they made.
From £10.00 per mug — includes printing, quality ceramic mug and UK delivery.
The gift that nobody else will give.
A printed mug made from your child's own artwork is one of those gifts that stops people in their tracks. Grandparents, teachers, family friends — they keep it, they use it, and they tell everyone the story of where it came from. It's personal in a way that no shop-bought gift ever can be.
Perfect for:
grandparent birthdays
teacher gifts
Christmas presents
Mother's Day
Father's Day
