IMAGINE....

...if all Australian children had access  to quality education

...that you could help increase basic health care to all children, regardless of where they live in Australia

...being a part of an Australia where all children are safe from harm and are encouraged to dream

STAEDTLER, the manufacturer of writing instruments, has united globally to support the largest independant child rights organisation Save the Children through this special promotional day. In this colouring campaign, Australian children (and children the world over) are invited to colour and raise money for their beautiful artworks, to help other children in need.

STAEDTLER is calling upon all teachers, educators and parents to get involved and organise their own colouring events at school, kindergarten and home.  Ideas include; a colouring day or colouring workshop, or a colouring event in which the artworks are exhibited and/or auctioned, the possibilities for creativity are unlimited. Further information, suggestion, fundraising ideas can be found at: www.world-kids-colouring-day.com.au. On this website, schools and organisations are able to register to support World Kids Colouring Day, and receive a starter kit to inspire their colouring activities. There is even a beautiful 9 piece Australian Map mural puzzle for the classroom wall about Australia. Also available are teaching resources and information to plan lessons about Australia

As the world's largest independent child rights organisation, Save the Children works in over 100 countries, including Australia. With the collected donations from World Kids Colouring Day, STAEDTLER will support disadvataged Australian children.

The universal language of pictures is understood the world over and unites children on all continents. Colouring is an important form of expression, especially for small children still discovering their world. World Kids Colouring Day needs the support of adults to help coordinate the fundraising events and to help children understand how their contribution can change the world of another, less fortunate child.

STAEDTLER will recognise those children and schools who have organised the most creative campaigns, those with the highest donation and those with donations totaling more than $500 ('Donation Champions') with great colouring sets.
