As a final note, be SURE
to put your age on the coloring

page to miss out on winning
because there was no age listed!
Also, just a reminder ... the contest is only for kids up to 6 years
old. 7 year olds aren’t eligible to
enter but we would LOVE to see
their drawings in our drawing
contest on the next page!
