For Children

Options
A bit of a long story, so i won't go into details, i have recently found out i have a 6 year old nephew, getting to know him, and have met him lots of times..

As money is tight i would love to win some things for him, i don't normally enter these kinds of competitions, and i can't say i have noticed many prizes for kids, so what's the best sites and what's the 'craze' for boys around his age?

I have been looking for bikes, toy cars, activity and learning things etc..

Thank you

    Hi,it is quite hard to do a narrow search but here is one:

    http://www.ngkids.co.uk/prize-planet

    Just do a search as some are in GO but still live.

    I have the latest Horrible Histories mag comp to post shortly as well.

    No problem.If you search via " www.ngkids.co.uk/prize-planet" it will show the comps but as I say do not worry if they are in GO as some are still live.

    GeeBee38, there's loads of kids comps on MSE
    I have two kids so I enter comps on their behalf and over the years I (they) have had quite a few wins.
    Now that you are looking for them you'll see them (if that makes sense)

    Hi,GeeBee38

    As MB says it is often a matter of just watching the live board as titles,where OP's post such as (kids) are not searchable.

    Try a search via: "disney" as well.

    Neither am I and I have two :rotfl:
    Seriously, just enter and keep your fingers crossed. Kids are fickle and what they like one week they don't like the next week and then they like it again a week later.
