Design a Cover Character Competition

Do your kids have what it takes to be Heinemann Active Maths illustrators?

The Design a Cover Character Competition is an exciting opportunity for Scottish children aged 5-12 to get creative, and design a new, fun character for Heinemann Active Maths - and it’s a great activity to do with your kids at home or at school.

Tell me more …

Heinemann Active Maths Exploring Number resources have all had space themed covers. But next year sees the launch of Heinemann Active Maths Beyond Number – and for this we’re going under water!

So we’re on the lookout for some cheeky new underwater creatures to grace our front covers and this is where your kids come in. From crazy crabs to funky fish and silly starfish to dashing dolphins – we want to see what kinds of underwater creatures your children come up with. Whether they draw, paint or sketch, we don’t mind. We’re just looking for something fun, colourful and imaginative, with lots of Heinemann Active Maths character!

We’ll be picking three winners, who will each have their character featured on a Heinemann Active Maths front cover!
