We are also proud to be
supported this year
by the National
Literacy Association,
a charity dedicated to
helping children foster a
love of reading.

Chair, Ray Barker, said: “We want parents to help foster a love of stories with their children as early as possible. It's been proved time and time again that children who are introduced to the joy of sharing books and stories at an early age will be at an advantage when they start school.

Making reading fun is so important too and the great thing with Munch Time is that parents can either enter the competition or simply use it to gather great stories to read with and entertain their young children."

Calling all budding children's authors and story lovers!

Due to huge demand, we’re back with the Munch Time Story Writing competition for
its fifth year!

Do you ever make up stories with your children at bedtime? Now's your chance to share your creative flair and, who knows, maybe open a door to an exciting, new writing career.

Munch Bunch is calling on Mums, Dads, Grandparents, childminders… in fact anyone with an imagination, a creative flair and a love of children’s stories - to take part in our annual Munch Time story writing competition. If you can capture the imagination of little ones aged two to five years old, using our lovable character Munch the Cow, then we want to hear from you.

This year we’re delighted that actress and Mum-of-two Tamzin Outhwaite has teamed up with parenting expert and author Andrew Watson, in helping us encourage all you budding children's authors to put pen to paper and create more wonderful tales about Munch the Cow.

Tamzin told us: “I love story-time with my two girls. In the last year my eldest daughter has started school and gained a sister, so story-time is a very special one-on-one period of calm, where we can all just snuggle up and escape the stresses of the day.”

Andrew added: “The Munch Time story writing competition is great because it provides parents with a creative outlet that benefits both them and their little ones. Children will be far more engaged by a story that's personalised or one that they've helped to create."
