50 days of summer: #39

The Summer Holidays are here! So, to celebrate, I will be posting one fun thing for you to do every day for 50 days, to stop you from getting bored.

Today we will be…

Learning to draw the Mr Men

In 1971, six-year-old Adam Hargreaves asked his father “What does a tickle look like?” Roger Hargreaves responded with a round, orange figure with long, bendy arms, and so Mr Tickle, the first of the Mr. Men characters, was created.

By the end of the year Mr. Bump, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Sneeze, Mr. Greedy and Mr. Happy had been added to the collection of books that would take the world by storm. 

To mark the 40^th anniversary of the Mr. Men books, which are still as popular today as ever, a new My Mr. Tickle Colouring Book has been released. On the 5^th September a Mr Tickle gift set will also be released, which includes two Mr. Tickle books, the original and glitter versions, and a soft Mr Tickle toy.

We have three fantastic Mr Tickle gift sets to give away to three lucky firstnews.co.uk readers. All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to post in a comment below what your Mr Men or Little Miss name would be. The more creative the better!

This competition will be open for two weeks. Check out our other Mr Men articles to see how to draw the rest of the gang!
