Thank you so much to everyone who entered our Autumn Nature Art competition. We loved seeing how you explored the outdoors, collected natural materials and turned them into thoughtful, creative artworks inspired by autumn. After lots of careful looking (and some very tricky decisions!), here are our three winners:
Red fox
Mating dragonflies at Craigside at sunset
A bunny
"I was rummaging through my garden, thinking: ‘What animal should I do?’. Just then I saw a bunny hopping rapidly through a tiny hole in my fence. Then I got the idea and picked up flowers, six leaves, a pumpkin top, pumpkin seeds, sticks and some dirt. I then made this artwork.”
Squirrel
Hedgehog

Somewhere beneath a grassy field right now, a tiny insect is building an underground loudspeaker. Male mole crickets engineer horn-shaped burrows that amplify their calls hundreds of metres into the night air – and your child can recreate the same science at home using nothing but cardboard and a phone. This hands-on experiment explores sound, shape and natural engineering in a way that is genuinely surprising. No screens, no special equipment, just a brilliant idea borrowed from nature.
Our Risky Moment competition invited young explorers to capture a risky moment in the wild – a split second when animals must make bold choices to survive. From daring leaps across rocky cliffs to dangerous river crossings, we received many hair-raising entries showing just how adventurous life in nature can be.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Winter Explorer competition. You proved that winter is not ‘empty’ at all – it’s full of clues, if you know how to look.
