Thank you to Yoplait Kids yogurt for sponsoring such a creative and fun contest.
Looking over the entries was a true delight. As you can imagine, picking our top 15 finalists was tough!!!!
Thank you to all of the children who took the time to enter our “Strong and Happy” drawing contest. We hope that you all had as much fun drawing your pictures as we had looking at them.

Beautiful idea for dwg no. 14!!!
I loved the idea of sun wearing shades in drawing No 14
Thnx for all those who voted for my son’s drawing #14 THE SPRING JUMP.
Yoplait is our favourite snack. When he drew this drawing I din’t understand what it was. He explained , “Yoplait has made me so strong that I can spring jump very high and get the flag from the Sun’s hand”. He also drew the coach who trained him.
Now I know what it means to reach for the sky.
Thank you yoplait and 5M4M.
I really like your drawing, Dina. Good luck..
Good Luck Dina, your drawing is so nice. I really like it.
