Get Crafty and Win!

11 July 2011 28 Comments

Hooray! Another fabulously crafty competition for you… as you know I am a big fan of anything that gets people to sit down and have some crafty fun. So when the lovely people at Fly Thomas Cook got in touch to tell me all about their Fly Thomas Cook Kids Club website and the drawing competition they are running, I just had to share it with you.

Firstly, a little about the Fly Thomas Cook Kids Club site – you really should hop over and take a look – it is very cleverly designed and laid out to keep you and your kids busy before, during and after your flight. With downloadable games and fun facts. I particularly like the Memory game that will help you learn new words in Spanish and Greek (great if you are going on holiday to those countries) and which for some “extra fun” can be coloured in by your children. Memory is such a fabulously basic childhood game – which you can play before you go, or as “snap” on the plane. Two for one. Fab!

But I digress.. more importantly, to launch this great new site, Thomas Cook has asked me to tell you all about their CRAFTY competition.. you know how we always like to combine a good book with a craft? Well Thomas Cook wants you to do the same. Choose a real legend based story from here and then get crafty! You can draw a picture or make something.

E.g. for Ghost Island you could – draw an island surrounded by shark infested waters with lots of palm trees and coconuts, you could make some loo roll ghosts, or you could make a fisherman’s boat out of egg cartons or juice cartons, or how about a picture of all the beautifully coloured birds…?

For the Magic Mirror you could build a fort out of a cardboard box, or draw “the Turkish man with his huge lips”, or make a treasure chest or how about a beautiful mirror or a loo roll witch..? Or a drawing of the orchard…?

Then… write a blog post about the Thomas Cook Kids Club website, the competition AND your craft and come back here to link up!

What can you win?!
