Sophie la Girafe 50th Birthday Competition

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Sophie la Girafe is certainly fabulous at fifty!

It is an exciting week for Sophie the famous giraffe toy as she launches her National Birthday Card competition. Keen to get the nation involved in celebrating her big 50th this coming May, Sophie is calling those of all ages to get creative and enter this unique art contest for a chance to feature in her month long exhibition at London based attraction, Battersea Park Zoo.
Sophie la Girafe is fast becoming the nation’s favourite baby toy and having been crowned with countless awards and used by many a celebrity’s baby, Sophie really does deserve an extra special celebration…especially this year, her 50th birthday!
So get the art box out and start painting, drawing and sticking to your heart’s content to design your very own birthday card for Sophie. Whether it is a collage of different Sophies, a Sophie created from tin foil and sequins, a simple drawing or maybe even a special photo of you and your Sophie – it is totally up to you!
All entries will be featured online at www.sophielagirafe.co.uk and the favourite 50 will be exhibited exclusively at Battersea Park Zoo during the month of May – what a novelty to see your very own masterpiece on the wall at the zoo. The one entry that gets Sophie’s extra special squeak of approval will also win the ultimate Sophie gift box including many goodies from all her friends in the nursery industry.

Please spread the word at the school gates, at the nursery or during your parent and baby morning – absolutely everyone is welcome to enter, the more the merrier… I for one cannot wait to get started – I love Sophie!

For all the details please visit www.sophielagirafe.co.uk .
