A TRIO of talented siblings have all won prizes in a dinosaur colouring competition run by the Watergardens Town Centre.
Brothers Denten and Winton, along with little sister Darleen, are aged nine, seven and four years respectively.
The youngsters, who attend St Mary MacKillop Catholic Primary School in Keilor Downs, have all succeeded in the artistic contest.
Denten was the overall major prize winner of a Dino Pack worth $100, while Winton and Darleen were named among 20 runners-up in the competition.
Proud mother, Seree Lou, said her children have always loved being creative and their home in Taylors Lakes is festooned with their works.
“Darleen, my littlest, was holding her first pen correctly and drawing away at four months old and used a pair of scissors by one year old and she hasn’t stopped since,” Ms Lou said.
“They have always been encouraged, nurtured and reminded by us, as their parents, to be creative thinkers in self-expression and ‘thinking outside the box’ as an individual and later on in life.”
“I would highly recommend other parent to share this same passion I have with my own kids to help them develop,” she said.
“The benefits of visual art develop your child in so many ways from strong motor skills, language development, decision-making, visual learning, inventiveness, cultural awareness and improved academic performances.”
