Three is a magic number!
Your next 4 weekly challenges are below, including this week’s Flash Challenge!
Challenge One
Head to your local park or nature reserve and go on a spring scavenger hunt adventure!
For the big kids…
Instead of riddles, why not try and solve these tricky puzzles?
You can read the scavenger hunt straight from a phone, or you may want to print it off before you head out, so you can cross off the items you find as you go!
Challenge Two
Searching for the CUTE factor!
When we think of spring, adorable baby animals such as bunnies, lambs and ducklings come to mind. To complete this challenge, take a cute picture of a baby animal with the kids in shot. 💜
Try to use perspective and angles to create some funny photos! Can you make the animals look giant? Or make it look like someone has animal ears? We’ve included a couple of examples for inspiration.
Challenge Three
It’s time to create a grass head family!
Use these instructions and add you own personal touches with hats, hair bows and shoes.
Take a photo of the whole family holding their grass heads with pride.
Position them altogether on your window ledge and watch their hair grow - and remember to water them every 2-3 days with a spray bottle!
Flash Challenge!
Play to win an annual family pass to your local Zoo or Wildlife Park.
Though this Weekly Prize has now passed, you still need to complete it to be in the running for the Grand Prize!
We’re half way through October, so it's time to reward yourselves with a mini pamper session!
Kids it's up to you to whip up our deliciously edible cocoa and avocado face mask and paint everyone’s faces - leaving the cool cucumbers for the eyes till last!
Looking for the ultimate pamper experience? Warm up some water and bath bubbles in a bucket and have a foot spa at the same time! And, why not pop on some relaxing music too?
LUXURY.
You can remove the mask after 20 minutes with a face washer, or you can see how far your tongue can reach and eat it off your face!
To be in the running for your chance to win a delicious party kit, you’ll need to take a pamper perfect, family fun selfie with your masks on by midnight Monday!
Week three done!
Remember, you need to complete all 20 challenges by the end of the month to be in with a chance of winning the Grand Prize!

Photography Tips
Want some advice on how to take the best photo?
Give these ideas a try.
Unless you are capturing a backdrop or large piece - try getting in close. Fill the frame with your subject to avoid too much wasted space!
Be aware of backgrounds - don’t let things like garbage bins or a passerby ruin your shot if you don’t want to intentionally include them in it! Change your angle or wait until people have passed by. It will be worth it!
See The Light! Take note of where the light is coming from - does it cast interesting shadows on your subject that you may want to capture or does it just hide the detail you need? Move around to find the best lit angle.
Using the flash isn’t just for night time - sometimes a bright day may create harsh shadows that you don’t like, so using the flash may allow a more even exposure.
Laugh, don’t smile...a well-timed joke will often lead to a more natural looking shot of your subject rather than a forced ‘cheese’
Try framing - is there something you could use to frame your focal point - e.g by shooting through a window or archway?
Keep it simple - try not to pack too much into your shot. Try focusing on one or two points of interest per shot.
