The Student Pet Design Challenge

The Next Boddle Pet Could Come From Your Classroom

Your students love imagining new characters, creatures, and powers. Now they can turn those ideas into a real Boddle Pet.

Students are invited to design their own original Boddle Pet, from its look to its evolutions, element, and special abilities. Teachers submit individual student designs, and two winning pets will be brought to life in Boddle in Summer 2026. 25 finalists will gifted 1 month of Premium for their whole class.

This challenge works well as a creative classroom activity, an early finisher option, or an enrichment project that students can complete independently.
