Persil

How to get involved

All you have to do is collect the Persil Stars that appear on our packs from October 2002. Send these to your child's class or school to help them towards a share of the Ł7m worth of FREE arts and craft classroom kits!

Your child's school or class can choose from over 40 different art and craft classroom kits, ranging from basics such as paint, brushes, pen and paper kits, to higher value items such as face painting kits, screen-painting tools, Fimo modelling clay, glitter and sequin packs and even easels and drying racks. So whether your child attends a large school or even a remote village playgroup, there really is something within everyone's reach.

It takes a little effort to make a big difference. So remember to save those Persil Stars in a safe place!

Learning to Dream

"The Arts are a window on our world that can capture a child's imagination and let it grow. We should all have the opportunity to look through that window"
- HRH The Prince of Wales

The means to explore creativity is a vital part of a child's education in the early years. It encourages experimentation and inventiveness, developing a child's confidence and understanding of the world around them. And by playing a small part and collecting Persil Stars, you can help make a difference.
