World Kids Colouring Day 2025 — The Shape of Happiness

For World Kids Colouring Day 2025, our members and their pupils were challenged to transform a blank shape into something that filled them with joy — using plenty of colour and imagination.

From finding happiness in their favourite food, people, pets or sport, over 2,290 entries were received — full of vision, creativity and happiness!

Though the shortlisting process was a tough one, entries from Lucas and Habo really caught the eye of our STAEDTLER UK judging panel. Not only did each winner receive a personal STAEDTLER stationery pack and winners’ certificate, but also a HUGE bumper stationery bundle for their classroom.

Here are the winning entries:

KS1 Winners
Competition winners - KS1
KS2 Winners
Competition winners - KS2

Plus, for every entry received, STAEDTLER donated €1 to children’s charity, Plan International — to help with the implementation of climate and disaster protection and nutrition for the children in the Bokeo region, Laos.
