Pictured are Sarah Mann, four, and David Lane, seven.
With James Pickup, 10, they were among about 200 young artists who took part in a national colouring competition organised by Thorntons in Bicester.
Children were asked to colour an Easter picture of a helicopter in the shape of an egg, with chicks and eggs dotted round the picture.
The three winners were presented with goody bags and their entries will go forward to the national final.
