I have been so overwhelmed with the positive response to my new Autumn 2010 ebooks that I wanted to give a little back to the homeschooling community. I tried to think of something exciting to offer and my boys suggested the Color Your Own Degas Paintings coloring book from Dover Publishing.
We have used Dover coloring books for many, many years and they have been a great way to enhance our artist study. My boys enjoy using thin markers or colored pencils to complete a page or two for each of their artists they study. So I will be giving away a copy of the Degas coloring book and a set of the Crayola markers linked below (click over to the blog entry to see the links if you read in a reader).
If you would like to be a part of this giveaway, leave a comment on this blog entry. Make sure I have a way to contact you if you win the coloring book. The deadline for entering in the giveaway will be next Sunday, October 3rd. I will announce the winner on Monday October 4th.
Here are links to the markers and the colored pencils (click over to blog to view them if you read my entries in a reader) that my boys love the best for using in coloring books. (I buy the more expensive markers and they still pull this set out when they are working on an assignment....go figure.)
FYI: I am also holding a giveaway on my Handbook of Nature Study blog for a copy of the DVD, Your Backyard and the book Backyard Birds. Please click over to see how you can enter that giveaway too!

Yes, please we'd love to enter this giveaway but we're in the UK and understand if you don't want to post overseas.
I grew up knowing so little about art and am enjoying helping my boys learn about it. We're learning together.
We would love that coloring book. I want to thank you for your generosity in sharing all your inspiring ideas.
Degas is one of my favorites! Maybe this coloring book would get my kidos interested, too! ;-)
Ohhhhh, my kids and I would all love to do this. We love the Dover books (and the free sample pages in their emails!)
Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd love to enter!!!!! We're planning a unit study on Degas this year, so it would be a perfect prize!

Thanks for a chance to win!!! We are loving your study on Degas. My dd (6) asked me yesterday to get her ballerina stickers and then told me if Degas could paint ballerinas, then so could she.
We would love to win the coloring book! I just ordered the Ancient Arts and Orchestra plans tonight. I can't wait to get started!

We are using your blog to teach "drawing with children" along with teaching artist studies with Ambleside Online. I know the Degas book would be a fun addition to our studies.
Just found out we're expected baby #8, so i think our school days might be changing a bit in the next few weeks as I go through the all-day sickness. This would be a great addition to our school days. Thanks for considering me in the giveaway ... and we love your blog!! amyminard1@yahoo.com

We're enjoying our Degas study as he was just mentioned in our French book too (love it when that happens!). Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Barb, I want to let you know how much you and your words within your blog are appreciated. To take the time to share so much is a rare gift indeed. I have learned and grown so much from what you have shared; you cannot even imagine. From your posts and my own heavy prayers we are now on the right track here at my house. While the schooling is far from perfect it is beautiful. May the Lord bless and keep you all. Thank you for being who you are.
