The summer, and the time left in the contest, are whizzing by! Thinking of names for [Turtle] can be done anywhere — sitting by the pool, washing the car, driving to work, putting away groceries, walking the dog . . . Involve the children in your life, too, whether you’re a mom, dad, grandparent, auntie, uncle or close family friend. Print out the pictures of the quilt and read the story line and enjoy the incredibly creative thoughts that pop out of a child’s mind.
Entries have arrived from all over the country. New England leads the way, so far, in the number of entries, accounting for half of them! Is this a challenge to other areas of the country? And what about you Canada, Australia, “Old” England and, well, the rest of the world?!
