Did you get a Blue Peter badge? Do tell - fame and fortune await (well, possibly)

I didn't but my sister did. I'll point her in this direction.

Iirc, it was the Sarah Greene years, was so excited to be on the show as I wasn't one of that many to be on that particular show and I answered a question, was about 7 or 8 I think. We had it on VHS, until my bro recorded or someone else recorded over it, now I come to think of a neighbour videoed it as we didn't have a video at the time

I got one (proud) and I was on it! Blue Peter that is, not the badge. But will so out myself if I tell you!

Yes, I got one for offering to play with my sister on the show with our bottle blowing band. We could have made a fortune, if only we'd been given the chance to be on a show. Sadly put musical careers never took off on that way.

But maybe we got it because I also wrote to say my dentist, who was also Sarah Green's dentist fancied her. I'm not sure of anything ever happened between her and uncle Johnny but you never know.....

My sister used to religiously make something every night, inspired by blue peter's creativity. You can never look at a matchbox, loo roll or washing up liquid bottle in the same way after years of blue peter.

Well I'm ancient, and I got one when I was very young. I wrote in about feeding the birds. They sent me a white one. No idea where it is now, some 40+ years later!

I won one for a picture I sent in following the Zebrugge ferry disaster (white badge with blue ship on it).

I was so excited when my daughter won one too for a poem she wrote.

Must dig them out of the 'treasures' box in the loft!

I got one! I was a runner up in a competition to design something (can't remember exactly) for Expo 92. It came with a letter of congratulations from the editor, Lewis Bronze, which was framed and displayed in my bedroom for years and a pen from Expo 92. I still have the badge and the pen, not sure about the letter though.

I was most excited that I could use the badge to get free entry to Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight - my favourite place on earth!

I also remember arranging a bring and buy sale to fundraise for something and the appeals that involved collecting cans and keys(?).

I received a white shield with a blue ship for writing and telling Lesley judd, Peter Purves, John Noakes (and Biddy Baxter!) about our bumper tomato crop. the following year I received a dark blue badge witha silver ship for thoughtfully updating the Blue Peter Team on our tomato growing endeavors. I lost the silver badge in a sand pit. devastated. I am still precocious but have always tried hard and everything and tend to think I cannot be defeated, possibly because of the badge.

As a slight aside, I grew up in a single parent family, didnt have any contact with my father and John Noakes & Peter Purves (and Doctor who!) were my male role models. I loved Blue Peter dearly, so thank you. :)

No Blue Peter badge here but I did get my paining shown in "The Gallery" on Take Hart.

It was of some girls in Brownie uniform playing in the Forrest amongst woodland creatures

I think they had to include it as my weekly offerings were starting to be accompanied by ever more desperate keen letters

I have two.

I wrote when I was about ten/11 about a school project, and a friend and I got a badge. I think I wrote about saving elephants and got a green badge.

My younger brother was jealous and kicked up a stink, so I wrote again - I think this one was about the Christmas wreathing service at my school's church and we both got white badges.

HOWEVER my memory is very hazy and I can't remember which story belong to either friend or brother. I should really just ask my brother if he'd had a green or a white badge.

I used to wear mine at school a lot but think I ended up getting a bit teased for it.

You could use it for free entry to loads of museums :)

I don't think I have them any more :(

Green one here!! Got it for building a pond at school. Didn't know you could get in free to places with them??!?

I got one for playing my cornet on the show!

Played with my brass band when I was 14, so about 14 years ago I think!

No, I didn't!!!! My life has been blighted - blighted I tell you - by the injustice.

My bf got a gold one! Outrageous.

I know they thought my pic was far too good to have been done by a 6 yo and assumed my mum did it ....... grrrrrrr.

I never managed to get one.

I did win a Mike Reed Tee Hee Mug, though :o

My Dad wrote in saying how he'd rescued a baby bird and he was sent one - can't say he's gone on to save birds, he had cats for 28 years!

He's 53 so I'm guessing he wrote in in the first few seasons (he was so he says out fetching coal up the hill at 8).

Me too - a runner up in the Winter Wonderland competition. The prize was a ball puzzle with the presenters and animals on and a leather key ring. My badge arrived on the day of the school Christmas Party. I went home to get changed into my party dress (a velvet number if I remember correctly) and there was a brown parcel waiting for me at home! I was so excited!!!

I won a blue peter badge and some prizes for the 'winter wonderland' competition in 1984. My sister also won the same prizes for this competition. I still have the badge - and i think i still have one of the prizes - a puzzle where you have to get coloured balls into the right holes - it was a cardboard base with a picture of the BP presenters, with a plastic cover. I was so proud!!

I won one from an online competition, showing how young I am here!
I won an electric mouse type robot.
And obviously I didn't do anything fantastic, just entered in my details and my good luck won!
I am not sure where it is though or if I even still have it.

I have one!! It's in my jewellery box. I got it for being very brave when I was five and broke my arm really badly in the playgroud. I think I might still have the letter I got too somewhere!

My girls both have them, but won't really count as they're 11 and 8.

Dd1 got one for writing a poem about a cat.

Dd2 wrote and told them about going to get a new prosthesis.

You need the card that goes with the badge to get in free now, because people were selling them on ebay. Mind you, dd1 got hers at 4yo so looks nothing like her photo now.
