Kids' colouring contest for the Langley Christmas Village: print it, colour it, drop it off by Dec 6

Langley City has a free colouring contest for kids aged 2 to 12 to mark the new Christmas Village. Grab a sheet at Timms or Douglas Rec, or print it at home, and drop it off at Timms by December 6 for a shot at one of three prize packs.

Got a kid who goes through crayons like Santa goes through cookies? Langley City is running a free colouring contest to celebrate the new Langley Christmas Village, and it’s open to anyone aged 2 to 12.

The sheet is a busy little market scene: a big decorated tree, a wooden stall full of ornaments, a snowman and a reindeer, and three bundled-up kids taking it all in. Lots of small bits to fill, which is either a bonus or a long afternoon, depending on the colourer.

How it works

  1. Get the sheet. The City would rather you print it at home, but there are copies at Timms and at Douglas Rec if your printer is out of ink (it always is in December).
  2. Colour it however you like. Crayons, markers, pencil crayons, glitter if you’re brave. There are no rules on tools.
  3. Fill in the bottom. Your child’s first name and age, plus a parent’s name and phone number. The City says only the first name and age go on display; the rest is just so they can reach the winners.
  4. Drop it at Timms by December 6. It has to be handed in at Timms Community Centre. One entry per child.

How the winners are picked

This one is a draw, not a judging panel, so the two-year-old’s purple scribble has exactly the same chance as the twelve-year-old’s masterpiece. Every entry goes in. The three prize packs have goodies from the Christmas Village, the Downtown Langley Business Association and the City.

Make a trip of it

Timms is right beside the Christmas Village, so the drop-off makes a good excuse for a wander. The village opens Thursday, November 26 at 20340 Fraser Highway and runs to Christmas Eve, with free entry and free photos with Santa. The City’s tree lighting is there on Friday, November 27.

Our Christmas Village visitor guide has the hours, the parking and the KPU shuttle, and Christmas in Langley has the rest of the season.
