Ultimate Umbrellas

Gene Kelly would no doubt like to dance, and twirl with one of these colorful umbrellas while singing, "Singing in the Rain." Who is Gene Kelly, your wondering? Ask your parents or grandparents, or check out a book at the library to find out. We certainly know where to go if it happens to rain on Umbrella Day, February 10.

Spring into your backyard and look for rocks. Try your hand at drawing Rock Bugs for March. Draw your rock in your favorite color, add stripes or polka dots. Draw eyes, antennae, legs, or even a smile. It's your Rock Bug. Have fun.

Attention baseball fans. Scurry through your closets and bring out your uniforms, gloves, bats, cleats, and hats. It's baseball season! For April, Batters Up, draw anything that deals with baseball. You can draw yourself in uniform, your favorite baseball team's mascot, or a ball and glove. Just be sure to have a fantastic, colorful home run with your drawings!

Reminder: Please print your full name, mailing address, age and cooperative your family is a member of on the back of your drawing. If incomplete, your drawing is automatically disqualified.
