Here are some ideas for the little ones to get involved

  • Check in on a relative or friend
  • Help put out the recycling
  • Spread Kindness- let the little ones spread some kindness. Go on a hunt to find a rock or stone and either paint or decorate it with a positive message and when you next go out for a walk, hide it for someone else to find!
