COLOUR  ME  IN     

1. You may use coloured pencils, crayons or texta. 

Children who are too young to use the computer properly may either dictate or write down on paper their story so that their 'adult' can enter the competition for them.  However, adults please try to submit the story as given to you, without making any changes that you feel might need to be made, as originality will be taken into consideration as well as story content.

Encourage your child to do as much as they can before you actually become involved or alternatively sit by them silently for support and only give input when absolutely necessary.
