Introduce ‘Arthur’ to a new friend
PBS has a proposition for youngsters everywhere. Create a unique character for “Arthur” and possibly appear on an upcoming episode.
Children ages 6-12 can enter the “Arthur/All Kids Can Character Search” contest that begins Feb. 1. Go to www.pbskidsgo.org/arthur/allkidscan to download an entry form. Draw and describe a special new character. Mail everything in by March 31.
The youngster with the winning idea will be featured along the new character in a live-action segment on “Arthur” (9 a.m. weekdays on OETA-13), as well as receive a visit from “Arthur” creator and author Marc Brown. Nine additional finalists will receive prize packages including CVS gift cards and “Arthur” merchandise.
Here’s the only catch: Arthur’s new friend should have a unique ability, character trait or disability. That’s because PBS and CVS designed the character search to educate children about the importance of inclusion and how children of all abilities can play together.
