Winners of the "I Love the Outdoors" Summer Writing Contest for Kids

I am so pleased to announce the winners of the “I Love the Outdoors” summer writing contest for kids! When school is out, it’s time for kids to let loose. The carefree days of summer are perfect for exploring nature on their own agendas and for writing what they want!

Wike Baby invited children ages 5-12 to write about their favorite outdoor spots, favorite season, or what they’d change about the outdoor spaces near them. Many wonderful pieces of writing and drawings were submitted. Thank you to all who entered! Additionally, thank you to the Massachusetts Audubon Society’s Trailside Museum and Blue Bunny Books and Toys for providing prizes to the top winners.

The work from the winners can be viewed below. Click on a name to view the entry. The range of ages represented shows you how every person can find joy in the outdoors and share it uniquely! Enjoy these masterpieces!
