Patriotic Craft and a Chance to Win a Teacher Basket!

We posted several weeks ago about a chance at winning a teacher basket for submitting your children's artwork. What better time than the 4th of July to create some patriotic artwork with your children and have a chance at winning a teacher basket!

Here is a great craft idea suitable for all ages of children for salt-absorbing firework art!

Below is the original post for all the entry details. We look forward to seeing all the exciting fireworks!

Why is Safe, Quality Child Care Important?



Would you like to win a teacher basket worth $50.00 while helping our elected officials and community leaders understand how important safe, quality child care is to Indiana families?


How you ask?

1. Have the children that you care for create a creative piece of artwork.

2. Ask each child’s parent to write on the back of their child’s artwork Why Safe, Quality Child Care is important to their family.

3. Ask each parent to put their name (parent’s name), city and zip code on the back of the artwork.

4. Ask each parent to sign and date a release form saying that Child Care Answers can use their name and story in our work with elected officials and community leaders. The release form must also include your name, program name, address, phone number and email (if you have one).

5. Mail or bring the pieces of artwork along with the release papers to Child Care Answers at 615 N. Alabama Street Suite 300 Indianapolis, IN. 46204. All artwork must be received in our office by 2:00 PM on Friday, July 29, 2011 and be accompanied by a release form. (artwork will not be returned)

6. For every 5 pieces of artwork with story and release from we receive we will enter your name into the drawing for the $50.00 teacher basket.

(Send in 10, your name goes in twice etc…)
