All Star is our star-themed creative craft competition for the whole family. The competition ran until December 22 and is now closed. For your reference, details on how to take part are below.

Create your star

Use your imagination to come up with a fabulous star. Use any materials or medium you like! You could bake some star cookies, paint or draw a design, make a model, dress up as a star, even dress your pet as a star.... The possibilities are endless! 

What unusual idea can you come up with? We've also created some colouring templates for younger kids - and anyone who wants to join in but has limited time!

Take a pic of your star

Once you are finished, scan or take a picture of your creation.  Just to let you know, we only accept images of your entry, not video clips.
