If you have artistic kids and you want to add another element of social awareness to your lives (and who doesn’t) you may be interested in a kids design contest being run by The Company Store in honor of their 100th anniversary. I rarely post about things like this but their concept just rubbed me the “right way”. Giving cool comforters to kids who are homeless or going through home transitions just seems like a great way to give needy children a sense of home no matter where they are.
Their Kids’ Design Contest, is a program geared at inspiring creativity while supporting art education and charitable work among America’s youth. Under this initiative, The Company Store will accept original artwork from children 12 years and under. The winning piece will be transformed into a comforter print for their ongoing Buy One, Give One Comforter Donation Program, in which The Company Store donates a new comforter to a homeless child for every comforter sold.
If you are looking for some after school art ideas this may be a fun one to try…
love this craft idea/contest. thanks for sharing. My daughter Ella, 5, is a great artist.

This will be a great thing for my daughter, Ada (7 yrs. old), to be involved in. She’s recently taken awareness about kids in need & shows a great desire to help. :)
Thanks!
