50 Things To Do (before you are 5 and ages 5 to 11)

50 Things To Do seeks to help every child reach important health, learning, and wellbeing milestones, by providing 50 low or no cost ideas for play, to the people who care for them.

There are two helpful sets of ideas for play and learning - one for children under 5 and one for children aged 5 to 11, featured in an app, website, and printed resources. It  is free to mums, dads, and caregivers.

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.

We recognise 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.
