Australian children participate in global art initiative - World Kids Colouring Day - May 6, 2014.
For the seventh consecutive year, writing instrument company STAEDTLER and Save the Children have joined forces globally in support of World Kids Colouring Day. Children are again invited to participate in this colouring campaign to help disadvantaged children. The concept is simple; children sell their artworks to raise funds which contribute to Save the Children Australia.

On World Kids Colouring Day, creativity knows no bounds: Whether individual pictures, colourfully drawn illustrated stories, picture galleries or exhibitions of children's art - the last six years has inspired an infinite range of artworks! More than 1 million children worldwide participated in World Kids Colouring Day in 2013, creating imaginative and wonderful pictures at group and school events or at home. This year's colouring theme is -picture stories – colourful trip around the world.' Children are encouraged to express what this means to them through drawing and colouring. Anything is possible in a picture - creativity and originality are highly-encouraged.
