WHEATON, IL — The Downtown Wheaton Association was all set to host its Frida Fridays ahead of the upcoming Frida Kahlo exhibit at College of DuPage, but Governor J.B. Pritzker's stay-at-home order added an extra hurdle to their plans. Luckily for residents, they found a new way to engage with the Find Frida coloring project.

To participate, kids and their families can download, print and color the Find Frida coloring page. Then, share your finished masterpieces and tag the Downtown Wheaton Association Facebook page with the hashtags #findfridaWheaton and #discoveryourfavoritefrida.

You can also post completed pics in your window for community members to admire as they're walking or driving by your home.
