About this resource
SummerCraft is Ootiboo's free annual creative competition, inviting people of all ages to explore the theme of summer through art, craft and imaginative making. Whether participants choose to paint, draw, sculpt, bake, build or create using recycled materials, the competition encourages everyone to express what summer means to them while developing creativity, confidence and problem-solving skills. Designed to be fun, inclusive and accessible, SummerCraft can be enjoyed at home, in schools or within community groups, with entries welcomed from around the world. Participants submit photographs or videos of their creations to be featured in the online gallery, with opportunities to win a range of exciting prizes throughout the competition. By encouraging open-ended creativity rather than focusing on a single "right answer", SummerCraft helps children and families explore imagination, celebrate individuality and develop real-life skills through playful learning. The competition reflects Ootiboo's mission to make creativity accessible to everyone while inspiring curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
