The latest issue of Kids CONTACT should have arrived in your mailboxes by now, and as always, features a ‘Picture This’ challenge that invites our local young artists to create and share their latest masterpieces with us.

We received some spectacular submissions this past issue, some of which you’ll see in print! However, we didn’t have enough space for all of them, and thought we’d share a few more here for you to enjoy. Thanks so much for participating in the challenge and reading Kids CONTACT!
