Entries needed to include the above stock images.

Find additional images
Before using free photo sharing sites for additional images.
Before you go searching for additional images to help build your masterpiece: All of the linked photo sharing sites (below) have lots of awesome images, however the sites are not specifically designed for children.
Just like anywhere on the internet:
1. Think about appropriate keywords
before you search.
2. Just keep scrolling
past the odd unhelpful image.
3. Close the Browser Window or click the back button
if you get any unexpected results.
You shouldn't need to sign into any of these sites.
