Color Me Egypt Contest

 

Try This: A History of Egypt for Kids

 

The results are in, for the final contest!!! The winners this month in the coloring contest are here! Go check out our winners in the 6 & under category and in the 7-12 year old category.

 

As some of you know, kids have great imaginations. We received some drawings that were so imaginative, we decided to put a special page on showing some of these drawings. We hope that you enjoy them as much as we did!

 

This contest was a huge success! We had so many entries that it was almost impossible to pick just three in each age group. We did manage to finally pick winners, but it was definitely a tough decision. We had several classrooms send in entries. We wanted to give special thanks to

 

Victor H.L. Wyatt School in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
 
Dows Lane Elementary School in Irvington, New York
 
Montini Catholic School in McHenry, Illinois
 
Winnsboro Elementary in Winnsboro, Texas

 

We received entries from entire classes from each of these schools. Winnsboro's whole elementary sent in entries. We just wanted to thank you guys for all of your hard work that you did on your pictures! Great job!!
