PRLog -- Abrakadoodle remarkable art education is pleased to announce the launch of its Kids Imagination Project (KIP), a multi-month campaign that seeks to obtain and feature original art created by children worldwide. Children’s artwork is pouring in from around the globe, and each piece is as unique as its young creator. The theme for artwork produced for this inaugural campaign is “Imagine.”
All children are invited to submit postcard art to Abrakadoodle. Visit Abrakadoodle’
s KIP page on the web for easy instructions regarding how to participate:

“We’ve been looking for a way to capture and celebrate children’s creativity,”
commented Mary Rogers, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Abrakadoodle, Inc. “Creativity is considered something of an abstraction, and so we designed KIP to reveal some of the creative ideas and images that reside in children’s imaginations through their own art works and will share this wonderful postcard art for all the world to appreciate.”
At participating Abrakadoodle locations throughout the United States, as well as Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan, children can participate in KIP workshops during which they will be inspired by an Abrakadoodle lesson to create their own original mini work of art on a postcard. Blank postcards are also available in limited quantities at participating Abrakadoodle locations and are available for download via Abrakadoodle’
s website.
Completed postcard art can be mailed in or dropped off at participating Abrakadoodle locations and will be shipped to Abrakadoodle’
s world headquarters in Reston, Virginia. Select children’s creative postcard art will be featured weekly on Abrakadoodle’
s blog, “Art for Creative Kids” –
http://www.abrakadoodle.com/blog. All artwork will be displayed in photo albums on Abrakadoodle’
s Facebook Fan page:
