Perfect Pets 2024 |
Art Competition
| 4-12


Schools, clubs and individuals are invited to draw pictures of their favourite, imaginary or ideal pets this half term!

The purrfect half term activity...

Let your 4-12 year-old kids' imaginations run wild by creating their Perfect Pets. Our favourite pets will feature in Young Artists Perfect Pets book series. 

From much-loved family pets to animal mash-ups and crazy creatures, kids will love getting creative with pencils, felt-tips, paints and more to create their masterpieces!

Plus, there are great prizes up for grabs including animal sponsorships, creative craft goody bags and £1,000 for the club that sends the best set of drawings!

You can post your kids' entry forms or scan them before emailing or uploading them. Entries must be on the Perfect Pets entry form which you can download and print from this page.

We cannot wait to see your kids' perfect pet pictures.

Closing Date: Friday 1st Nov 2024

We've worked with over 20,000 schools. Here's what some of them have to say...
