“Every child is an artist”
Every child has created a masterpiece at some point in their Honeypot journey! So let’s grab the crayons, glue, glitter and paint and let our creativity continue to shine!
If you’d like to show Bumble and your Honeypot friends what you’ve done, ask your parent or carer to help you send a photo or a scan of your work to bumble@honeypot.org.uk.
A little note for parents and carers – when sending us photos of your children’s creations, please include in the email your full name, relationship to the child and your agreement for Honeypot to publish the photo online. Many thanks for your help.
