The National Cultural Foundation’s (NCF) Crop Over Activity Colouring Book for Children has gone global.
The digital version of the national book, which allows for colouring virtually and was first made available last year, is being used outside of Barbados in cyberspaces as far as Europe.
Shannon Clarke, the App developer who worked with NCF on the project has been monitoring its use and engagement.
“I have seen that persons have been uploading to the site as well as making use of the drawing. One of the more interesting things is that it is being used around the world.

Court News Service Reports – As he traveled a historic trail with a pair of mules, John Sears says the California Highway Patrol violated his right to intrastate travel and his “ages-old nomadic way of life” when he was arrested in January last year. Sears filed suit in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court last week seeking, among other things, to compel CHP officers to be trained to know that mules have a right to public roads.
While his mules have pleased many passersby eager for unique selfies, they have also caused run-ins with law enforcement. That’s what happened near Paso Robles on Jan. 23, 2020, when several motorists along the historic Juan Bautista de Anza Trail called police, claiming the mules were a safety hazard.
