Design-a-bird competition winners

Activities
A rainbow-winged ‘shird’ - a cross between a sheep and a bird - drawing was among the winners of childcare insurer Morton Michel’s annual art competition - this year to design a bird.

Open to all childcare settings and the children they care for, the competition also supported the charity Songbird Survival.

Resource prizes were provided by EYP Direct and each of the 1,300 children who entered received a set of Morton Michel’s colouring pencils with a handy pencil sharpener lid.

Mia, age seven, won in the five to seven-year-old category for her imaginative creation of a ‘shird’ – a cross between a bird and sheep – winning a magic drawing board for herself and an educational outdoor sign for her childminder Dawn Johnson.
