Kids coming - advice please

Options
Hi all,

I have my niece and nephew for the summer holidays, and they have been enjoying entering some children's competitions.

The drawing ones where you upload the pic on the site have been great (as they can actually see their entry) but does anyone have any advice on postal kids comps or instant wins they could try daily?

Basically kids spent ages drawing a pic for the milkshake comp and have subsequently been sat watching milkshake since 7am.

The winners have been shown (didn't win :() but they're determined to wait and watch for their picture.

Sorry if it seems like I'm moaning - I don't mind when I enter - I usually just forget about it and if I win I win... But didn't realise how gutted kids would be waiting for their pic to be shown.

Hope this post makes sense!:o

    I don't do kids comps / have kids so don't really know, seems a bit cruel to have kids not winning competitions ... but I guess not everyone can win and at least they have fun doing it.

    Just browse the Kids based sites, ie Nickelodeon (Strange name for a kids channel :/) http://www.nick.co.uk/win

    Nat Geo Kids : http://www.ngkids.co.uk/prize-planet

    etc?

    There is a Pip ahoy and a ben and holly comp on milkshake at the moment if you want more crafty bits to do

    There is a list of creative comps for kids on Di's blog here http://superlucky.me/2015/07/kids-competitions-for-the-holidays/ (I've not looked at what there is or when things end)

    also if its specifically kids postal comps you are after feel free to add me on facebook or send me a message facebook.com/ikkle87 and I can add you to a group x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
