More than 80 children in the nursery and P1 paraded their colourful creations at school on Friday – and collected the grand sum of £122.55.

The money will go to Glasgow-based charity Cure Crohn’s Colitis who the 
Herald has teamed up with to hold this cracking contest.

First prize in the adult’s section is afternoon tea for two (with a bottle of bubbly thrown in) at the plush Boclair House Hotel in Bearsden.

The winner of the most creative children’s hat will receive a £20 gift voucher and there will be chocolate Easter egg goodies for the winners and runners-up.

We hope the real winners, though, will be Cure Crohn’s Colitis to help victims of the two devastating inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
