WIN A FREE BUTLER DIARY OR EARN BACK YOUR DIARY

Join the #MyButlerDiary Challenge

Celebrate your Butler Diary with us and show the world how you use it in practice!
This September – November, we’re inviting educators to share unboxing videos, photos, and examples of their Diaries in action. By taking part, you’ll earn points towards winning back your Diary (via store credit) or receiving a brand-new Diary free.

This is your chance to showcase your creativity, inspire other educators, and help build our library of authentic educator examples.

🎯 How It Works

Complete tasks from the list below to earn points.
Every photo, video, or story you share = more points.
For every 100 points you earn, you win a free Diary.
Already purchased your Diary? → You’ll earn store credit equal to the value of your Diary.
Haven’t purchased yet? → You’ll win a free Diary of your choice.

You can share your entries on socials and tag us - Facebook (@TheChildcareCentreDiary), Instragram (@butlerdiaries_ecec), or TikTok (@butlerdiaries) - and the hashtag #MyButlerDiary or email them directly to info@butlerdiaries.com.
