Colour Buddy Bear Competition

Laura Helen Brown is the author and illustrator of ‘My Emotions Activity Book’ and a supporter of the Buddy Bag Foundation and has set up a campaign with Karen Williams OBE, the founder of the Buddy Bag Foundation, to supply hard copies of her activity book to a vulnerable child placed in emergency care to use with their Support Workers. You can donate to this cause by visiting Laura’s website.

Laura and the Buddy Bag Foundation have teamed up with a competition for budding young artists to show off their talent and flood the internet with colourful pictures of Buddy to raise awareness for Laura’s My Emotions Activity Book and The Buddy Bag Foundations partnership. Every entry has the chance to win some gorgeous goodies!

Together we are raising funds to provide hard copies of ‘My Emotions Activity Book’ to Child Support Workers who work with vulnerable children who have been placed in emergency care. Hard copies are needed as many of the supporters that work closely with these children have limited funding budgets and easy access to resources.

Colour Buddy the Bear in for your chance to win some LHB Illustrations, signed prints, and goodies!

We would love to see your completed Buddy for the chance to win some LHB Illustration goodies.

You can have as many entries as you like.

To enter, share your finished Buddy on social media using the hashtag #BuddytheBear, follow The Buddy Bag Foundation and LHB Illustrations on their social media pages. Each month an entry will be selected, and that winner will receive some fabulous goodies through their letterbox via snail mail.  

You can download Buddy to print and colour in using the button below. 


This competition is available to all within the UK and Ireland. It is open to schools, childcare communities and any children or adults that would like to make Buddy colourful.

The Buddy Bag Foundation

The Buddy Bag Foundation was founded in 2015 to help make a difference to the 48,000 children entering emergency care every year in the UK. We supply these children with a Buddy Bag, or other essential items, to help restore a sense of comfort and love.

Your chance to make a difference to a child in emergency care
