Art Competition 2020

Calling all budding young artists!

The Childminding Ireland Children’s Art Competition is back again this year to celebrate and nurture the talents of the children you look after. It was a great success over the last three years and the artwork really brightened up our offices. We are really looking forward to receiving this year’s creations – even if it will be in digital format!

We have fantastic prizes on offer for the winners – see below.

Let’s Get Creative…

Ask the children you mind to draw, colour or paint something that takes their fancy! This is a chance for children to show off their creative talents and build confidence. A selection of the work will be uploaded to our digital media for all to see.
