I always wanted a Blue Peter badge when I was a kid, but it always seemed so unattainable. Well, things have changed, as there are now a total of eight different Blue Peter badges that you can apply for, and we'll tell you how to get each one!
The qualifying criteria for each of the eight different Blue Peter badges are slightly different, so read on below to see which one your children are likely to qualify for before you click the links and apply. Good luck!
