Description:

All kids love to draw so now let's give the kids in our lives a reason to do so (other than sheer randomness of course!)!

Have your child draw on 1 regular sized sheet of paper. They can use pencil, crayon, marker, paint.... just as long as it's their very own art! We don't want collages - just straight up brain to hand drawing! ;-)

If your child would like to include a little note about the drawing that'd be great but isn't required.

Also, leave your child's first name in the comments below and we will address our packages to the child (c/o parent) so they feel a little extra special!

I'll give some extra time on this - I know how hard it can be to get kids to sit during the summer!

All the usual mumbo-jumbo applies, no ones, newbies welcome with fully completed profile, no 3's in last 6mo. (if you feel you have an unfair 3 contact me before signing up to explain and we'll see what we can work out). Please don't flake on a kid! Every moment is a teaching moment and no one wants to be the example of how not to behave for a child!! This is senders choice so please don't make requests (I think we all know to keep it clean and respectful!).

What a great idea!

Should this be mailed flat. or is folded twice into thirds, to fit into an envelope acceptable?

I am guessing there is no age limit? My 4 year old LOVES to draw and paint all the time so it should be easy!

I think that mailing flat or folded into an envelope would be fine! I guess it sort of depends on the art... I know most kids' paint doesn't crease without cracking so that would be best sent flat but you can decide how to send as long as you're considerate of the sender!

And no, no age limit! You can dump some finger paints onto the floor and have your 6mo. old wallow in it and then wiggle on paper if you want! :D Any kid is welcome!

My son just did a childrens art bookmark swap - he loved it, so he's going enjoy this to!! His name is Adam Jenkins and he loves collecting the post and I think he would pop with excitement to see something with his name on it :)
