In November, more than 10,000 children digitally coloured a 10 metres wide and 6 metres high mosaic. Yesterday, the drawing was handed over to Saint Nicholas during one of the VTM KZOOM weekends at Plopsaland De Panne.</strong><br>\u200b &nbsp;</p><h4 id=\"more-than-10000-children-coloured\" ><strong>More than 10,000 children coloured</strong></h4><p>In November, all Belgian children could help colour the largest Saint Nicholas drawing ever at <em>dreamland.be/welkom</em>. They coloured one (or more) of the 9 available digital drawings and DreamLand combined all entries into one gigantic 60 m&sup2; mosaic. The special colouring action was a big success: more than 10,000 children submitted their drawing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4 id=\"playful-welcome\" ><strong>Playful welcome</strong></h4><p>DreamLand wanted to welcome Saint Nicholas in a playful way, which is what the toys specialist is known for. Geert Gillis, DreamLand Sales Division Manager: &quot;Our slogan is &#039;Everything becomes more fun when you play&#039; for good reason. With this action, we got thousands of kids in Belgium to colour and give Saint Nicholas an original surprise.&quot; And Saint Nicholas was very happy with his welcome gift. &quot;I have never received such a large and beautiful drawing. All children clearly worked very hard and I am sure they had a lot of fun colouring&#039;&quot;, he said. Actually, the colouring fun is still going on. Until 6 December, children can keep colouring on the DreamLand site to their hearts content.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4 id=\"about-dreamland\" ><strong>About DreamLand</strong></h4><p>DreamLand, a subsidiary of Colruyt Group since 1994, guarantees sustainable children&#039;s joy.
