I am very excited to announce my first ever contest for kids, ages 1-8! I’m even more excited because the coloring sheet is my own OMSH and MR. OMSH, illustrated by the ever-talented artist, Secret Agent Josephine. (Claps all around please!)

Details

Step 1: Download and print the following coloring sheet either by clicking on the image or the download link below it. Psssssssst…prints best in landscape view.

Click to [download] the OMSH Christmas Coloring Sheet.

Step 2: Have your child(ren) color the sheet and then either take a photo of the colored picture with your child(ren) or, if you don’t want your child(ren)’s photo online, just take a photo or scan in the coloring sheet all by its lonesome.

Step 3: Send the photo or scan to me, with the age of your child written on it, at heather@ohmystinkinheck.com
as an attachment by the deadline, Christmas Eve (12/24/07) at midnight (CST). The winner will be announced on Christmas Day with their special “Christmas Gift” mailed before the NEW YEAR!

All photos will be uploaded to a special Christmas OMSH flickr set to show off your child’s coloring sheet! Be sure to give only your child(ren)’s first name and age. If you desire a link back to your blog, you may send me the URL to your blog too.

How does your child win?

There will be a drawing based on ages. The groups will be divided in ages 1-3, 4-5, and 6-8 with one drawing per age group. There are three different prizes to win!

Prizes

Ages 1-3 Winner will receive one set of Baby Bug Flashcards. These were donated by their illustrator, SAJ. With their kid-friendly designs, rounded corners, and precious little pouch, it’ll be a big hit for teaching the alphabet.

Ages 4-5 Winner will receive one set of Connectagons. I am totally enchanted with this box of 240 brilliant colored, notched circles. They join together to make any number of structures.

Ages 6-8 Winner will receive one of our new family favorites, When Santa Turned Green. Just as a heads-up, your child can be the “Greenius of the Week” at the My Green Santa website simply by submitting their earth-wise ideas.

And that’s it!

So here’s the recap.

• Download color page.
• Let your child(ren) color the color page
• Take a photo or scan in color page (with or without your child) and send it to me with your child’s first name and age.
• Wait for the Christmas Day Drawing

It is EASY!
I can’t wait to see your children’s handiwork!

    COOL! This might be a challenge for me, but I’m going to do my best.

    1. I don’t have a camera (yet).
    2. My computer died yesterday, and therefore I cannot use my scanner.
    3. I’m not sure if the scanner at work works.
    4. It is a SWEET picture so I’m going to get Kaylie to color it anyway and do my best to get it to you!
