Spot, the Park District Snowman, is excited to visit his box turtle buddies in the parks. The turtles decided to decorate their shells with their favorite CWPD things to do as a surprise for Spot. Can you guess what each turtle loves to do in the parks?

Households can register to paint a plywood animal using the above prompt. After painting, turn your turtle in to enter it in the Spot the Snowman’s Spot the Turtles Scavenger Hunt contest for a chance to win a prize!

Scavenger hunt participants will cast votes for their favorite turtle. Winners of the painting contest will be announced on February 24, 2027. Prizes will be awarded for 1st – 5th place, staff pick and a random drawing (2).

Registration deadline: Monday, December 7
