Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap unveiled the department’s new
Maine Kids’ Page Monday, which features a Maine woods and waters
theme and a new animation about lawmaking in Maine.
“We are excited to unveil this redesign of the Kids’ Page, which
is one of the most popular sections of our website,” said Secretary
Dunlap. “The resources here are a great point of reference for
anyone who wants to know more about the State of Maine.”
The Maine Department of the Secretary of State has hosted the
Maine Kids’ Page since the mid-1990s. It is the only State agency
to host a full section of its website focused on connecting
children with Maine history, facts and information. This redesign
is the first major update since 2006. Department staff in the SOS
Central Office have been working on the redesign for more than a
year, in conjunction with staff at InforME, the State online
services host.
“This upgrade makes the Kids’ Page more user-friendly and
accessible to teachers, students, and even for adults who may have
forgotten facts such as the scientific name for our official state
soil,” said Secretary Dunlap.
The Kids' Page is an important resource for teachers and parents
with a significant collection of information about the State of
Maine. The page features:
- Official Maine symbols, such as the state flower and state
bird
- A timeline of Maine history
- Famous Mainers
- The State song
- Games and puzzles
- Recipes featuring Maine foods
- Explanatory information about Maine government
- Maine places, products and native wildlife
- Student programs and contests
- The “Path to Maine Lawmaking” animated video
- And much more, including links to additional educational
resources
The Kids’ Page is accessible from the Department of the
Secretary of State homepage, in the left-hand navigation column.
Those with questions about student programs, contests or other
content can contact the Maine Department of the Secretary of State
main office at 207-626-8400.
