Tinkertoy® Creation Contest!

February 13, 2013


A creative contest from The Children’s Museum of Virginia! This contest is open to EVERYONE… kids, adults, even businesses! What a great activity for your next Family Game Night!

Important Dates:

  • Submissions accepted from now through February 28, 2013.
  • Voting will take place March 1-15, 2013.

Winners Receive:
