Australian children participate in global art initiative -
World Kids Colouring Day - May 6, 2013

For the sixth consecutive year, writing instrument company STAEDTLER and Save the Children have joined forces globally in support of World Kids Colouring Day. Children are again invited to participate in this colouring campaign to help disadvantaged children. The concept is simple; children sell their artworks to raise funds which contribute to Save the Children Australia.

To help children get started with their artwork in support of World Kids Colouring Day we have 6 x $50 STAEDTLER colouring prize packs to giveaway.

On World Kids Colouring Day, creativity knows no bounds: Whether individual pictures, colourfully drawn illustrated stories, picture galleries or exhibitions of children's art - the last five years has inspired an infinite range of artworks! More than 1 million children worldwide participated in World Kids Colouring Day in 2012, creating imaginative and wonderful pictures at group and school events or at home.

This years colouring theme is picture stories on ecology. Children are encouraged to express what environmental protection means to them through drawing and colouring. Anything is possible in a picture - creativity and originality are highly-encouraged.

STAEDTLER is calling upon parents, teachers and educators to organise colouring events at home, school and kindergarten in support of World Kids Colouring Day May 6, 2013. Visit www.world-kids-colouring-day.com.au where you will find a diverse range of materials available to download.
