Stargrower Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 We enter a local competition 2 or 3 times a year for a bit of fun. Its run by a local society and has an 'under 8's' section. Usually there is quite a narrow brief such as a drawing of a flower or a house and a garden. Usually one or two of our children win prizes - a (very) small amount of money and some sweets and everyone gets a small prize for entering. The children love it! The next competition is on September 8th and the only brief is 'any craft item'. We are open all summer so have time to make things, but are a bit stuck with what... The children involved are between 3 and 8 years. Any ideas welcome... Thanks! Beehive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyPancakes Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 How about an Olympic Cauldron - each child making a copper petal kettle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimms o'clock? Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 How exciting, it sounds to me like they have given you complete free rein for this, collage, junk modelling, natural resources for transient art, finger, hand or foot paintings, bubbles painting - absolutely anything goes I guess with 'any craft items'. Maybe the older children could have a go at sewing something simple with felt. Does it have to be individual entries or can they do something collectively? Have fun with it and good luck I hope you get some winners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I haven't any specific ideas yet (I'll think about it) but perhaps would be nice to use either items from nature, or recycled items ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
