Simon Says ,,,,,, Children's Summer Holiday Challenge



Hi all and welcome to our annual Children's Summer Holiday/ Back to School Challenge :-)

The theme is ...

ANYTHING GOES !! :-)

this challenge is specifically for children between the ages of 2 and 16 years of age so now is the time to let your Children, Grandchildren, Nieces and Nephews loose in your craft rooms !! :-)

We have not one but 2 very special prizes for this event !!



2
lucky winners will each win one of these fabulous Junior Stamper Kit's !! Woo Hoo !!! :-)


In celebration of crafting with our kids, we have developed this "Junior Stamper" kit targeted for ages 4 through 14. The kit includes whole assortment of products from stamps, ink, neon papers, coloring pages, twistable crayons, markers, window markers, to stickers, construction paper, glue stick, washi tape, and scissors (safe for 4+). There is a huge list of supplies and many of them reusable for a long time to come. It's important to celebrate our children and so the kit is complete with a "Junior Stamper" Certificate of achievement.

We have some very talented junior designers for your inspiration so please hop over to their blogs and leave them all a nice comment:-)







Emily - 7 yrs. (Lisa's daughter)






Heidi's son Jaxon (almost 5)
Jaxon loves pirates so mommy and Jax made a treasure chest filled with Tim Holtz Idea-ology findings. Mommy and Jaxon create their favorite memories when they sit side by side "crafting"!
Then Jaxon created his own pirate art! using Tim Holtz markers, stamps, watercolor brush and some Studio Calico number stamps.




This Children's Challenge will run until 8am EST on 31st August so you have plenty of time to join in !! AND you can enter and many times as you like !

Please add your age after your name on your link so we know how old you are :-)

We are all looking forward to seeing what you make !! Have fun and Happy Crafting !! :-)

NB : THIS IS THE CHILDREN'S CHALLENGE ONLY :-)

ETA, The Little Hands Challenge is especially for children too so you may like to pop over there too :-)

What a FANTASTIC idea for a challenge, I love it!!! This is the first time I've seen anyone do a challenge and let the kids do it!! look at all the layouts. Unfortunatly My kids are in there 20's and no grandkids, or anyone that I know. But still this is the BEST challenge to date!
