The Quangle Wangle's hat competition
(for children aged 5-11 years,
entries CLOSED 31ST AUGUST 2020)
We asked children aged 5-11 to listen to the Lockdown Tales recording of ‘The Quangle Wangle’s Hat’, then draw, paint, collage or make their own Quangle Wangle’s hat using any medium they chose. They were to add a real or invented creature to the hat, give their creature a funny name, and describe it in the number of words that was their age (for instance, if they were seven, they would use seven words).
The entries were all fabulous, and we were so impressed by all of them. After a lot of careful consideration, Alice's 'Ogglegog' was declared the winner. First prize (a hardback copy of The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse) was kindly awarded by The Aldeburgh Bookshop and the competition judge was author Julia Blackburn, who also read 'The Quangle Wangle's Hat' for Lockdown Tales.
Many thanks to everyone involved, and especially to the bookshop, our judge, and all children who entered.
