Hey, Koala Kids!

It's Kelly here with a super exciting announcement: it's time to reveal our Week Two Summer Camp winners!

First of all, a HUGE well done to everyone who entered. The Koala Kids team were completely amazed by your wonderful drawings and descriptions. You filled our inbox with magical lands, unique homes and some truly creative ideas. Choosing just four winners was incredibly tricky!

There were some fierce debates among the Koala Kids team, but FINALLY we managed to select four entries. So, without further ado, our Week Two Winners are:

Fiona from Athens, Georgia, with Lunar Island, a tiny replica moon filled with glittery air, moon cats and star beetles. Sounds like a beautiful place!

Nicolas from Quebec, Canada, with Steve Land, a world packed with whacky inventions made by (yes, you guessed it!) a guy called Steve. We thought this was such a fun idea!

Grace Williamson, with Moonlight Lagoon, a magical world that's half jungle, half ocean, where the moon transforms into a giant disco ball. We absolutely loved this one!

And last but not least, Jocelyn from Virginia, with Sleepy Island, a hidden corner of Sleepy Forest where castles are built from rainbow bricks and the clouds rain lollipops. We think Koko would love it here!

A massive congratulations to all four of you!

This week’s prize is a Koala Moon audiobook of your choice!

Will you choose ‘Koko's Sleepy Wishes’, packed with exclusive stories you won't hear on the podcast?

Or perhaps you might prefer ‘Koko's Sleepy Forest’, ‘Goodnight Farm, Goodnight Animals’ or ‘Hector and Sunny's Sleepy Adventures’?

The choice is yours!

We'll be in touch with your grown-ups by email very soon, so ask them to keep an eye on their inbox, and their spam folder too!

We'll also be sharing your amazing winning creations over on our Instagram. The handle is @koalakids.fm so everyone can take a peek at your magical worlds!

Don't forget, if you want to hear YOUR name on the podcast and be one of our lucky winners, there's still plenty of time to sign up for Koko's Summer Camp by joining KoalaShine+!

It's packed with creative activities, exciting challenges and lots of chances to bring your imagination to life all summer long.

We can't wait to see what you create!

First of all, a HUGE thank you to everyone who entered. The Koala Kids team were totally WOWED by your amazing characters. You filled our inbox with so much creativity and imagination that choosing just four winners was incredibly tricky!

But, after lots and lots of deliberation, we JUST about managed it!

Drum roll please.

Our Week One Winners are…

Charlie from London with Icy-Fish - a jellyfish crossed with an ice cream. What a fun idea!

Sparkle Girl from Durham, North Carolina, with Beverly the Beaver - a detective with a magical tail. We loved this character!

8-year-old Luna from Somerset, UK, with Meloncat - a cat shaped like a watermelon. So creative!

And finally, Ollie and Abby with Penelope and Fluffball - a pair of dwarf flying squirrel siblings. We think they'd fit perfectly into Sleepy Forest!

A massive congratulations to all four of you!

Your winning characters will be appearing in a future Koala Moon or Koala Shine adventure very soon!
