Announcing the winners of the 12th annual kids art contest (2021) hosted by Frogs Are Green. Thank you to all the students who participated along with the teachers and parents who helped us showcase what children are thinking and learning about around the world. We received a total of 651 artworks from 21 countries.
There was incredible variety in the materials used as well as subject matter. So many thoughtful topics such as: why whales are getting caught in nets and what should we do; protecting endangered animals and habitats; and animals that are going extinct.
Also, here are the links to the 4 Flickr galleries if you wish to see all the artwork submitted.
