The Blue Peter badge is one of the UK’s most iconic children’s rewards, and it is still going strong. Any child aged 5–15 can earn one by sending in an original piece of creative work to the Blue Peter team – a poem, drawing, painting, story, photograph or craft project that they are proud of.

If the team is impressed, a badge is posted to them for free. Better yet, a Blue Peter badge unlocks free entry to over 200 top UK attractions, including theme parks, zoos, museums and historic houses, making it one of the best value freebies a child can ever receive.

Details of what to send and the postal address are on the BBC Blue Peter website.
