Children are being challenged to let their imaginations go wild and draw where they’d most like to sleep for a competition launched by Action for Children.

The art challenge is part of the children’s charity Boycott your Bed sleepover annual fundraiser to support vulnerable children.

Children aged 12-years-old and under are being asked to draw where they would most like to boycott their beds, and a judging panel will decide which has captured the imagination and fun of Boycott your Bed best. It could be a treehouse, a rocket in outer space, a submarine under the sea, or even a magical castle.

One winner will receive a prizes including the Very Hungry Caterpillar books and toys and a selection of treats from the Bloom & Blossom range.

Actor and Action for Children Ambassador Jess Hynes said, ‘I had so much fun last year boycotting my bed that I jumped at the chance to be get involved again this time as a judge for the Boycott Your Bed Children’s Drawing Challenge. I can’t wait to see all the wild and wacky places that those creative minds come up with and I already know it’s going to be so hard to choose a winner!’
