Enter our Spook-tacular Competition!
Recreate your favourite Halloween Film Scenes or Characters With Toys in the Leading Role
Winners Announced!
1st Place) Ethan & Megan Fish
Child's name: Ethan Fish & Megan Fish
Age: 8 & 4 years old
Location: Pontypridd
Summary:
This was made by my son Ethan Fish (age 8 and my daughter Megan Fish (age 4) from Pontypridd. They wanted to do it between them I hope that’s ok! It’s the scene from Goosebumps haunted Halloween when all of R.L Stine’s creations are set free from the book by slappy the ventriloquist dummy. They both love Goosebumps, as do I! They made the scene using various Lego character sets that they took apart and rebuilt to make the spooky characters and they printed and made the volcano background. They also made the purple slime using a slime kit and then they set up the scene between them.
Comment from Parent:
Wow that is amazing thank you so much!!! They are so thrilled they have just spent the last 10 minutes phoning all our family to tell them and haven’t stopped smiling! Our plans for Halloween are to decorate the house, play lots of Halloween games and then snuggle up in the dark and watch their favourite spooky film goosebumps with some Halloween treats
2nd Place) Abrey
Child's Name: Abrey
Age: 8
Location: Gloucester
Summary:
Entry submitted on behalf of my ( just turned) eight year old son Abrey. We live in Gloucester, UK. He created the scene from his favourite 'Scooby-Doo Return To Zombie Island' movie using his aquatic animals, wildlife set, play doh, Scooby Doo characters and items from the dressing up box. I helped him write the sign and he went over it in marker pen. He used my red nail varnish to add blood to his zombie toys too for extra scare appeal! He is dressing up as a zombie this year so this activity was a lovely opportunity to get creative and excited for Halloween even though the celebrations will be very different with the situation the world is in. Thank you! Here he is in last years fancy dress..
Comment from Parent:
Oh my word! How absolutely thrilled we are! He is currently jumping up and down as I have just told him the spook-tacular news! Thank you so, so very much. This has made our day and week, month! We are just about to start going through the garage to sort our Halloween decorations. I've promised that we are going to begin decorating the outside of our house this afternoon as we are mad for the celebrations even though they will be a little different this year! Thank you again. You really are so very generous and our prize is very much appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you! xxx
