Nope you’ve not missed the boat. There are hundreds of ideas out there for you and the kids ranging from contests, giveaways to practical ways that will impact your family or the larger (world) family. Nothing is too small.

With so much going on today, here is a brief snapshot of play activities and ideas so your under 5s kiddos can join in.

• 21st Century Mummy: ” It’s Earth Day on Tuesday and I would love it if you could mark the occasion by trying your hand at a Zero Waste Day, which means not throwing away anything that would end up in landfill, whether it’s at home or indeed work. Don’t forget to try and avoid buying anything with packaging that can’t be composted or recycled. Go on…it’s easier than it sounds, honest…and if you have any questions…just ask! Even better…blog about it and challenge others.”
