Library offering contests for kids

The Okanagan Regional Library is hosting a pair of challenges designed to get kids to try different activities this winter.

The Hot Cocoa Colouring Challenge for children up to age five includes such activities as going on a hike, reading a book about colours and helping to make a recipe. After an activity is done, kids colour a mug. When all the mugs are coloured, children enter a draw for a prize.

The Winter Bingo Challenge is for schoolage kids and teens. Activities include reading about a place you’ve never been, drawing a favourite memory and going on a virtual field trip to a museum or favourite landmark.

Participants mark off a square when an activity is complete and can enter a draw when they’ve filled in enough squares.
