Description:
This swap is for our children. For this swap,your child will compose two drawings or paintings and send them to 2 other children( 1 drawing or painting a piece). The theme is animals.It needs to be done in color. I hope this swap is successful because the idea is to have a whole themed notebook/collection filled with artwork from children around the world.It will be spanned out over several months time. Please include the child's name, age, and where they are from in the bottom right hand corner.You may give the piece a title if you wish. I do realize that alot of you may have more than one child who would like to participate. I am not sure how to work that out, but for now,Ill leave it open to the oldest child.Please pm me if you have any questions and you may list below if your child has any animal preferences.

Is there a size of paper? Age of children who can play? This is a great idea. Smiles, Sandy (sandyponey)

I was thinking 8x10 or smaller(no smaller than 6x6), any larger than that would prob be too big.On the ages, I was thinking 5 and up...........if someone wants to do one for the younger kids, then go ahead(but be sure to mention my swap when you do....lol)

I love this idea!

I was thinking it might be good if everyone was asked not to fold the artwork. I know it would make it easier and cheaper to mail, but it would be so much nicer if the artwork was uncreased. Is that alright Scrapkween?

you may request here that it not be folded.......so, if you dont want yours folded,please make your preference known, then I will remind others in the final email............it doesnt matter to me if hers is folded or not :-)

This is a fabulous swap. My grandson just did his first ATCs this week and we sent them out yesterday. We looked up the sent-to and receive-from profiles and I told him about the girls he was swapping with. RL is so proud of this. He will definitely grow into something like this before too long. Kudos for such a wonderful idea. I'll be watching for your swaps.
