WINNER: Goggles, by Alice, 9

Name: Goggles
Age: 5
Favourite food: anything, as long as it is in pairs!
Likes: joking with his friends
Dislikes: fruit salads
Interesting facts: Alice wrote that Goggles dislikes fruit salads, although enjoys eating anything else as long as it's in pairs; collects underpants, although fears a pant thief stealing them; and takes his name from his love of swimming, sporting a single goggle over his lone eye. 

Why we chose Goggles: We absolute love the creativity behind Alice's marvellous Squeeble, who is based on a pear and likes things in pairs! Not only did Alice draw her Squeeble, she went one step further and made a model of him, out of a pear - this was one of our favourite entries of all time and we can't wait to get to work animating Goggles and sharing him in one of our apps soon! Well done Alice - we think Goggles is "pear-fect"...

RUNNER-UP: Luna, by Anoushka, 9

Name: Luna
Age: 2
Favourite food: blackberries & dragon fruit
Interesting facts: Luna likes trying to find all the constellations with her friends. She's a friendly Squeeble who just wants to have fun. Her spots start to glow every full moon night and she collects stars to light up her path.

Why we chose Luna: Our resident teenagers helped us judge this competition and there was a collective 'Ahh' when we came to Anoushka's entry - her drawing seemed to convey a gentle soul with her kind, expressive eyes, and delicate colouring. Indeed, Anoushka says Luna is 'a friendly Squeeble who just wants to have fun. Her spots start to glow every full moon night and she collects stars to light her path. Her hobby is trying to find all the constellations with her friends, while eating blackberries and dragon fruit.' We thought Luna would be a magical addition to the Squeebles family. Well done Anoushka. What an amazing creation! 

RUNNER-UP: Natur, by Montgomery, 8

Name: Natur
Age: 300 million
Favourite food: home-grown cherries
Interesting facts: Natur loves to bake, especially for his friends' birthdays. He bakes the most delicious cherry cake with lime icing, and cherry sauce on top. The cherry antennae on his head allow him to seed new forests, which is an incredible super-power to save the planet.

Why we chose Natur: Eight-year-old Montgomery designed Natur, who wowed us with his brilliant colour and mass of tentacles. Natur is an environmentally-minded Squeeble, whose 'cherry antennae allow him to seed new forests, which is an incredible super-power to save the planet.' Natur is 300,000,000 years old, but still loves to bake, especially for his friends' birthdays.

Why we chose Bow: We were so impressed with Catherine's wonderfully colourful rainbow design, but our favourite thing about Bow is that she can fly like a helicopter, by using the bow on her head as a propellor!!! Perhaps you've seen her flying through the sky and mistaken her for a real rainbow? Well done Catherine - what a brilliant Squeeble.

RUNNER-UP: Graylie, by Franky, 11

Name: Graylie
Age: 56 years, 5 months, 5 days
Favourite food: apples, oranges, lemons, pears, blueberries, grapes and dragonfruit
Interesting facts: Graylie has some white spots in him. These are in fact holes, not white spots, and the cause of these holes is because there is so much black-and-white television missing. Graylie’s hope is that it will all turn up at some point, and he can be full again.

Why we chose Graylie: the brief details above are about 5% of the information Franky sent us about Graylie. Never before have we received so much detail about a Squeeble. You can read the full story behind Graylie here and see his greyscale home to the West of Squeeble Island on our map here.
