The Creative Children of Auckland Competition was created for Auckland Children impacted by Covid 19 Lockdown has now completed but can still view the amazing entries below.
TOCK‘s challenge was for the children to create something imaginative using items that would otherwise be thrown away or placed in the rubbish such as lids or food containers with the main focus on re-using items and reducing waste. The more creative and unique the better.
The winner by public vote was this colourful watermelon pencil holder. This was made out of a sugar tin because the winner wanted to use the 3Rs so that we don’t put lots of rubbish in sea which can harm animals. They win a copy of our NZ Book – ‘TOCK Saves the Earth‘

Description: We made this pirate sword with around 10-12 toilet rolls, cellotape and tinfoil. It’s pretty sturdy and Ollie’s having a lot of fun with it. We folded each toilet roll in half lengthwise and taped it to another folded roll to make each part stronger. You can also make a shield by putting tin foil over the cardboard from under a pizza or cake or cutting a shape from a box. To make the the shield handle simply fold tinfoil a few times in a line then tape it at both sides to the back of the shield, it will lift up and bend to the shape your hand fits under easily.
