Parents, are you looking for a project to do with kids over April vacation? Kids, have you ever wanted to make art and win a prize?

Portsmouth Patch is looking to see childrens' best artwork made out of recyclable materials.

There are many great Web sites out there offering a variety of art ideas, including the nonprofit Recycling Resources for Rhode Island Education. Their Web site can be found by clicking here.

So go ahead and create something from recyclable materials, but don't forget to take a picture. Then e-mail the picture to Sandy@Patch.com or add the photo to the gallery here!

What's in it for you? How about a $20 gift card to The Toy Shop in Bristol?

Create your best art work over spring break and submit a picture by April 22.

We'll then select the best work of art submitted. On April 25, we'll announce the winner!

So go ahead and get to work on that next masterpiece made of paper, wood or whatever creative, recyclable item you have lying around your house!
