Have you turned in your coloring contest entry?

As mentioned last month, Maggie's Adventure Coloring Contest is underway! You can win a $25 gift card for art supplies from Michael's Art and Craft Store and a copy of Maggie Visits Grandpa, A coloring adventure.

By popular demand, new age brackets were added to ensure artists of every age would be included. Age brackets are:
  • Ages 2-5
  • Ages 6-9
  • Ages 10-14
  • Ages 15-18
  • Ages 18-25
  • Over 25

Gather the entire family together for coloring night. It's been proven that coloring spurs creativity and generates the benefits of a meditative state. It's cheaper than therapy and a lot more fun.

Coloring is the ideal vehicle to spark interest in family history and art for kids of all ages. It is a common denominator of all cultures. Have you seen the latest crayola crayons? Not only is color listed in English, but the same word is also labeled in French and Spanish.

And, who couldn't find a fun way to spend $25 at Michael's? Your artistic efforts may just boomerang into more fun and imaginative projects. For full rules and entry form, visit http://maggiesadventure.blogspot.com/
