We were absolutely blown away by the creativity, care and imagination that poured into our 'Tusk Titans' issue's Magical Nature Potions competition! From glowing flower brews and shapeshifting elixirs to potions that whisper with trees or help save endangered animals, your ideas were bursting with wild wonder. We received a record-breaking number of entries from across the UK and beyond, and every single one made us proud to have such inspiring, nature-loving readers.




After reading this month's magazine my 9 year old son, Theo, was inspired to make this potion that allows a person to communicate with the lambs that surround our home. He calls it lambspeak, and it has spring flowers and a touch of sheep's wool in it.

My potion is called Fantastic Forest. It is inspired by the beauty of the newly planted forest in the fields outside our village. The forest looks like small branches sticking out of the ground right now but in the future there will be a lot of towering trees making shadows for small animals to live in. My potion is to make sure that all the trees grow peacefully and happily and make lots of homes for animals. Make sure you use a REAL four leaf clover for the magic to work.








My potion is called Animalentaria and it makes you able to transform into any animal and you can also speak that animal's language (but be careful when choosing a prey animal that you don't get eaten!)I thought it would be amazing to truly learn the secrets of the wild and finally understand animal behaviour.

You've been designing brilliant new contenders for the Astonishing Amazon Animal Showdown – piranhas with jaws that regrow in whole quarters, a hoatzin that ferments its dinner in a throat pouch, a tailless whip scorpion that senses danger through its legs, and a jaguar with one of the most powerful bites of any mammal. Thank you to every reader who did the research and made the case for their champion.
