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!

The rules are simple: make something fabulous out of Tinkertoys! You can do this at home if you have a stash of Tinkertoys or come over to the Children’s Museum to use their supply. Just take a picture of the finished product (the sharper the image the better) and submit it via this link.

Important Dates:

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

Winners Receive:

  • $20 gift certificate for use in the Museum’s Gift Shop, or free tickets for admission
