Children's Week Florida is thrilled to begin collecting hand artwork for the 2025 Celebration of the Hands display in the Capitol Rotunda!

This powerful visual will be the backdrop for the week and serve as a daily reminder to legislators and Capitol visitors that the future of our children is in their hands.

K-12 classrooms, families, colleagues, 

and all children's advocates are invited to participate in this beautiful tradition. The artwork will be part of a statewide effort to deliver the message that every child should be healthy, ready to learn, and able to achieve their full potential.
