Every parent has boxes of their kids’ art projects or stacks of papers with crayon doodles waiting to be filed away, scrapbooked, framed or quietly tossed in the recycling bin after the artists’ bedtime. Before you take that final step with their latest masterpiece, enter it in our latest contest that could win your young Picasso a Galileo Fun Pack! Two lucky winners will receive a fun pack that includes either two weeks of Camp Galileo (for Pre-K – 5th graders) or one session of Summer Quest (for those entering 5th- 8th grades), plus passes to The Tech Museum and the de Young Museum. We’ve extended our Inspired Artists contest deadline until April 30. This means there are 15 additional days to enter for a chance to win two free weeks of camp!

For this contest, the art can be using any medium – paint, Play-Doh, paper mache…whatever you wish – but it must relate to one of our Camp Galileo themes or Summer Quest majors. Maybe paper dolls for fashion design or an aerial map of a dream amusement park or even a diorama of Goodnight Moon. As long as the art ties into one of our 2010 themes and majors, your child is one step closer to free camp this summer!

To enter: Become a Facebook fan of Galileo Learning and post a photo of your child’s creation on the fan page. In either a caption or comment, let us know which theme or major the art represents. All photos must be posted by midnight April 15 April 30. One entry only per child, please. The camp prize cannot be transferred to another family and must be used during the 2010 season.

So whether your child is more Monet or Rube Goldberg, let us see what they’re creating!

Does your child love to build? Whether it be a Lego mansion, a fort made of recycled boxes or a house of cards, we want to see what your child is creating! The best part? Two lucky winners will get an amazing Galileo Learning Fun Pack! The Fun Pack includes either two weeks of Camp Galileo (for Pre-K – 5th graders) or one session of Summer Quest (for those entering 5th – 8th grades), plus passes to the de Young Museum and The Tech Museum, all for free!

To enter, let us see a picture of what your kids are building! First, either become a Facebook fan of Galileo Learning and post a photo on the fan page or if you have your own blog, post a photo there and link to let us know.  All photos must be posted by midnight Feb. 28. A winner will be selected randomly from the entries and notified the week of March 1. The camp prize cannot be transferred to another family and must be used during the 2010 season.
