Easter Coloring Contest Egg-stravaganza
The Woodbine Public Library is hosting an Easter Coloring Contest Egg-stravaganza, giving kids kindergarten through third grade the opportunity to win prizes.
Coloring sheets are available at the Woodbine Public Library. There are no limits on the contest, as long as contestants use the coloring sheet provided by the library, and each child turning in a picture will receive a small prize.
Kids can take the coloring sheet home to color and we also have crayons and markers available here in the library. If the kids would like to sit and color their pictures here, they are more than welcome.
All entries must be turned in by April 16th and will be displayed around the library.
First through third place will be awarded a stuffed animal.
The Woodbine Youth Library is located at 58 Fifth St.
Contact the library at 712-647-2750 with questions.
