Treasured possessions

a gift for our subscribers

We all remember the treasured possessions of our childhood - a dog-eared book bearing the biscuity marks of affectionate gnawing; a doll whose limbs have seen better days, or a chipped metal tractor handed down generations. These treasures, as they become physically weaker over time, grow ever stronger as symbols of the love that has been lavished upon them. As parents, we probably feel their emotional power even more acutely than our children.

We would like you to send in a photograph of your child’s most treasured possession, and describe to us in 25 words or less what it means to you and your child. Our favourite will be featured in the next issue of papier mache magazine and will receive over $800 worth of art works from Kindergallery. Three runners up will also receive an art work. We love our artists, and think that these works, like a treasured possession, will become a focal point for your children’s imagination and remain a lasting symbol of childhood. You will also need to become a subscriber of papier mache magazine to enter.
