So February half term is now here and I thought it might be an ideal time for folks to get their kids to apply for Free Blue Peter Badges which will help them gain free entry to over 200 attractions saving you money for the next school holidays for this year and potentially many more.
Firstly what is a Blue Peter Badge
A Blue Peter badge is a special award given to people who appear on the show, or in recognition of achievement. Applicants must be 5 to 15 years old.
Badge owners, with a valid badge card, can gain free entry into over 200 Blue Peter Badge attractions around the country such as theme parks, zoos and castles
How do I apply for a Blue Peter badge?
There are several badges you can apply
Blue

Purple Fan Club
Music
Sport
Book
Orange
Gold
You can apply for the Green Badge, Silver Badge, Music Badge, Sport Badge, Book Badge and Purple Fan Club Badge online.
All other Blue Peter Badges can only be applied for by post.
My Top Tips for a successful Badge Application
The saving are definitely worth putting some effort in. Get your child to hand write the letter but ensure the Name & Address are clear perhaps write that bit yourself.
Send photos of your child doing the task they are writing about or send a photo of what they have made or include the drawing or poem.
My kids have a few badges the sport badge online application was the easiest. Give as much detail as possible.
