Draw Your Own Thumbuddy Contest

Burnsville, MN, February 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- ThumbPeople, Inc., the creator of the Thumbuddy children’s book series is sponsoring a “Draw Your Own Thumbuddy Contest” for kids.

Here’s what kid’s need to do . . .
Draw Thumbuddy on a white piece of paper. Have fun and be creative. Write words that describe wonderful qualities about you on your Thumbuddy’s face. (If you’re too little to write the words yourself, ask an adult to help you.)

Here’s what adult’s need to do . . .
Please provide your child with a plain (no lines) white piece of paper to draw Thumbuddy. If they need help, help them write words on their Thumbuddy’s face that describe uniquely special qualities about them. Go to the ThumbPeople website for instructions to submit your child’s Thumbuddy drawing.

The thumbprint character, Thumbuddy, is gaining popularity around the country through the Thumbuddy children’s book series and via Thumbuddy Club. Thumbuddy Club is a program designed by a preschool curriculum expert based on the Thumbuddy children’s book series that builds self worth as it encourages children to embrace their uniqueness, stand out and leave their one-of-a-kind imprint in the world. The Thumbuddy character communicates the message that just like your thumb leaves a one-of-a-kind thumbprint, your life leaves a one-of-a-kind imprint in the world. And just as your thumb stands out from your fingers, you were meant to stand out and live an outstanding life.

“Our goal for Thumbuddy Club was to develop fun activities for children with a positive and encouraging message that was simple to facilitate. We’ve tried to think of everything - keeping the preschool leader’s preparation and planning time down to a minimum. It’s perfect for before or after school programs, homeschooling groups, summer programs, daycares, play groups, libraries or church programs. We’ve created two children’s book clubs - Thumbuddy Club and Thumbuddy Club for My Church making Thumbuddy Club suitable for any environment.” According to ThumbPeople spokesperson, Cathy Kirschner.
