In 2006 I came runner up in the WA Young Inventor of the Year Schools Competition. I entered with my invention Mitt Magic – Oven Glove for the Junior Chef. It is an oven glove that goes all the way up to your elbow, is sized for children up to about 12 years of age, and is made of extra thick materials for safety. It also has a pocket for your cake tester. I won $500 dollars for my invention and have used it to set up a business. I am selling Mitt Magic for $10 each plus postage. You can find more details here.
I have decided that I will have a Random Giveaway to give away one of my Mitts that has been professionally maufactured. If you wish to enter, post a comment on this post, and specify if you would like a girls Mitt or a boys Mitt, and their age before next Friday.

Sarah, how smart you are!!! You and your mother must be so proud. I love Mitt Magic, and I know that my 10 year old daughter Helen would love one too.
Wow! Congratulations on winning runner-up! This is my first peek at your blog–liking it so far! I’d definitely like a girls mitt as I have 3 daughters, all of whom like to bake. Thanks!
I read about your invention a little while ago and thought it would be fantastic for my nephew. He is 10 years old and likes to bake cookies and cupcakes so the glove would be perfect for him!
What a wonderful, creative little mind you must have. That is such an achievement for a young person. You MUST be so proud of yourself!!! As I’ve commented in a previous post, I am starting my ‘almost eight year old’ daughter on the whole cooking thing so I’m sure one of your fantastic inventions would come in very handy!!!
Oh my goodness!!! You have no idea how happy I am to have stumbled across your post tonight. My 4yo daughter and I cook often and I feel I may be too protective over her, BUT, your well crafted oven glove would be fantastic. What a lucky girl you are to have your Mum nurturing your interests Sarah, keep on creating! (I know it is probably the boy version..but I just love the kitty cat glove, we have 2 cats!!!).
What a fantastic idea. Well if I win I’d have to say pink as I have 4 girls. That would be great.
Applause to you for your creativity and entrepreneurial mind! How thrilling it must’ve been to have won those competitions! My 4-year-old son would love a blue one!
How exciting for you to win and twice. Thats so great. We would like a pink one if we were to win.
wow who’d have known you’re a little inventor as well as crafter! how fabulous and what great ideas and how great to win money for it!
also I emailed you some flickr directions which I hope are clear but just yell if its not clear since i have pregnancy brain 🙂
Hi Sarah – I am not putting in for the comp as you have already sent me one of your wonderful mitts – I just wanted to let you know that you have done a fantastic job. I bet your family are mega proud of you –
Thank you very much for your comment!;) I really appreciate it! It’s the first time I hear from you, and I am going quickly to take a look at your blog. Thanks again and a pleasure to know you. Eva
wow that sounds so amazing…to reallly invent something that’s so great! I would love a mitt magic since my five year old son likes to bake cake all by himself…
Congratulations Sarah what a clever girl you are! Your Mum & Dad must be so proud!!!!!
That is so great! What an amazing opportunity for you! Congratulations on wining that contest you had such a great idea. It is not often that you see such pretty invention. My son would love a pair of his own!
Uau! Really from the other side of the world! Thanks for the nice comment and it’s great to keep in touch with other crafter bloggers. Your kids’ gloves idea is great and I wish you great luck with your business.
Far out Sarah, what a clever girl! Tell us more about your magic visor.
Wow! Sarah, Congratulations. What a wonderful idea. I would love to surprise my daughter with a pair but I’m sure she would prefer the blue pussy cat ones. She is 13 and starting to help me with the cooking. Thank for this lovely offer.
Sarah congratulations once again.
I have my niece coming to stay for the next school holidays – so a pink one would be fantastic if we happened yo be your lucky winner.
What a clever girl you are. I think a blue one would be best in this house because my son does more cooking than my daughter.
Oh my goodness – what a smart idea!! My 10 year old son loves to cook with me but always hesitates when it’s time to take things out of the oven. Congratulations on the achievement – that’s really fantastic!
Sarah, you super duper you! Inventor, crafter, cook, and generous giver; well done on achieving something many grownups have never though of! My two girls would love your oven mitts; I think they would be great inspiration for other kids, not only to cook, but to see what great ideas can become.
These are a great idea! Congratulations!
WOW! What great achievements you have made, you must be very Proud. These gloves are just the best idea ever. WEll done. Your mum sure is doing a fantastic job raising a great young lady.
