The Consortium provides prizes for 'Design a Sea Creature' competition
December 2011
A record number of children entered the Design a Sea Creature competition, held by childcare insurers Morton Michel in association with Sea Life Conservation.
The competition, which was open to anyone involved in the early years and childcare sector, aimed to provoke discussion about how children can help protect our seas and some of its creatures from extinction.
Entrants were judged in three age categories - under-five, five- to seven, or eight- to 11, with the artwork submitted by their childcarer or school.
early years from The Consortium provided the prizes for the under-five category. The winner was Maisie McMahon, aged four, from Swindon, who is cared for by childminder Denise McMahon. Maisie's sea creature picture of a 'Vampire squid at night-time' won her a Schleich Polar and Sealife set, and Titchy Waterfall Play Tubs for her setting. Congratulations Maisie!
