***COMPETITION FOR KIDS***

Draw a motif/your favourite Christmas item and have it included on Hairy Bob's actual jumper in our production aimed at 0–6-year-olds at this Christmas!

We know it's a little weird to be getting excited about Christmas, but at least the month now ends in 'ber'!

Follow the steps below...

Option 1: Download the document in the comments/our bio (for insta) and either fill in the squares on the grid to form a pixelated picture or ignore the squares and draw over the top - we'll take care of the rest.

Option 2: Use a clean piece of paper and draw your picture and we will convert it into the grid format.

Our elves will then turn this into a knitting pattern and use it on the jumper.

You will then need to take a picture/scan the drawing in good lighting on a flat surface, complete the form (also in the comments/insta bio) and upload the picture.

DEADLINE: Midnight 30 September

Once we have received the entries, we will upload the pictures to our social media accounts and give you 7 days to get as many likes/hearts as possible. The 3 with the most will be included in the jumper.

Get drawing!

Hints and ideas: Hairy Bob loves all things Christmas, so it could be a bauble for the tree, a candy cane, a favourite sweet, a Christmas tree itself, a star, a gingerbread person, an angel - anything that makes you think happy thoughts for Christmas.

AI-generated content, cloned voices, deepfake videos and fabricated screenshots are making it harder for young people to recognise what is genuine online.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in helping children build the confidence and critical thinking skills needed to question digital content.

The guide explores:
• How AI-generated content and deepfakes can appear convincing
• Why familiar voices, polished presentation and repeated claims should not automatically be trusted
• Risks linked to fake accounts, impersonation and misinformation
• The importance of source-checking and verifying messages through another route
• How adults can respond when harmful or deceptive content targets a child

With clear, practical advice, this resource helps adults strengthen digital literacy and support safer, more informed online experiences.
