Following on from our great Easter Egg Shaker Giveaway, we’ve launched two Creative Competitions, open to all UK children up to 16 years old, and with great prizes for the winners and for their schools. The deadline for entry has been extended and is now midnight on Friday 23rd July.

We’re thrilled to have joined forces with Music House for Children for these brilliant competitions, and we’re completely over the moon that their patron, the utterly fabulous Sophie Ellis-Bextor, will be judging the winners for us!!!

There are some great prizes: £100 musical instruments vouchers for the winners plus music-making kits for their schools or local community centres.

Don’t delay, enter today!

And for families with younger children

Music House for Children’s Once Upon a Song podcast has been created specially to support children’s language and creative musical play with stories old and new accompanied by songs, sounds and instrumental mayhem. Expect special young guests reading stories too!

The podcast starts on 6th April – click for info!

Back to the competitions: there’s an egg decorating competition – “Best Dressed Egg” – and an egg shaking competition – “Best Performing Egg” – and they’re both fun, creatively stimulating and easy to enter.
