FreeKidsCrafts.com Monthly Craft Contest


(United States Only)



From the website:

Every month we'll be giving away $200 in craft supplies!*

First, make a craft.

Any original craft suitable for 3-12 year olds that can be made with basic craft or household items. Just avoid specialty craft supplies or hard-to-find items. Please make sure it is your own design. Do not use a design from a book or from another person's web page.

Second, take a picture.

It's best to place the finished craft on a solid colored background and get as close as possible but make sure your picture is in focus.

Third, write down the instructions.

Make sure to include a supply list and any helpful information such as type of glue or paint used and drying time.

Fourth, email us.Send the photo file in jpg format and the instructions in a word or txt document. Or you can just paste everything right into your email.

What do you get?

You could win $50 in free craft supplies!

*We're going to choose up to four contributors each month to receive $50 in free craft supplies. So make sure to send us your best ideas and its important to take a quality photo that we can use on the website.

"Let Me Introduce Myself" Postcard Swap
(International)

From the International Youth Arts Festival 2012:

The International Youth Arts Festival invites you and anyone between the ages of 5 and 26 years to take part in this year's international postcard swap: "Let Me Introduce Myself".

Take a postcard and be creative with any material you can think of be it oil paint, ink, dried pasta, buttons, pictures and introduce yourself to the world. You may also like to add some writing to your piece. Think about what represents you.
Your artwork will be.exhibited during this year’s International Youth Arts Festival , Kingston-upon-Thames June 29 - July 6, 2012 and also online at < >www.schoolswaps.net.

After the exhibition you will receive a different postcard back (or a selection of cards if you send us more than one) from somewhere else around the world.

This project is a great opportunity to share something about yourself, your home, surroundings, personality and emotions with thousands of other young people. This is also a fantastic school or group project where students can work together.

For all the details and the postcards from last year's project go to Stamp and send the postcard to: IYAF c/o Arts Office • Guildhall 2 • Kingston upon Thames • Surrey • KT1 1EU schoolswaps.net.
