50 Things to Do is based on the simple notion that quality time with family, indoors and outdoors, is a great way to support children’s development. That’s why we’ve put together 50 fun, low or no-cost activities for you to explore and enjoy at your own pace.

50 Things to Do recognises that what parents do with their children at home makes a big difference to their long-term learning and wellbeing. Every 50 Things to Do activity helps children learn, with a focus on relationships and playing together, supported by their most important teacher - you.
