The Kids’ Gallery Competition
With the Gallery getting bigger and brighter, our pets are being noticed by more and more young creative souls. Some of them decided that if our imaginative creatures all have wings, than they ought to fly, so one of the drawings was turned into a lively animation (with plans to make more, we were told).
We were also acknowledged by some lovely adult individuals. One of them is Amanda, the owner of Giddy Goat Toys in Didsbury, who has offered to run a competition for the budding artists. All the drawings that we have received so far, and everything that we receive throughout April and until 21st May, will be entered into the competition and the winner will be pulled out of our magic hat. Just a reminder: the topic is “The pet you would most like to have with you right now – imaginary animals welcome”. Check the Gallery Wall for inspiration or our Launch Page to learn more about the drawings and the artists.
Our winner will receive a prize worthy of a young Picasso, courtesy of Giddy Goat Toys. The fabulous Djeco Big Box of Colours Art Set, retailing at £29.99, contains everything a true creative might need in their studio, including wax crayons, pastels, and watercolours – all in vibrant rainbow hues! And it even provides inspiration for a first project, as the box itself is etched in a beautiful woodland design, just waiting to be given a splash of colour. For parents who are worrying that the upshot of all this will be crayons all over the house, there’s no need to panic! The set shuts securely with the help of a wooden bead closing mechanism, and inside, every item has its own place. It even has cord handles, for easy transportation anywhere in the house. After all, as every proper artist knows, inspiration can strike anywhere!
If our prize has captured your imagination, then you’re sure to find plenty more to amuse and delight online at Giddy Goat Toys. This traditional children’s toy shop is well-known for its fantastic range of toys, books and games for children of all ages. Although the Didsbury-based store is currently closed, Amanda is still very much open for business, and is busy sending out goodies to the children of Manchester. Whether you’re looking for something to educate or entertain, and let’s face it, we need help with both of those tasks now more than ever, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for at Giddy Goat!
