the places you will go

Myself and Lisa are currently involved in a project with the National trust. We are aiming to raise awareness of the 50 things to do before 11 3/4 . I am very pleased to say that my daughters have done the majority of the list. Even at 15 months my youngest daughter has experienced a lot of the list and has enjoyed them. We sometimes adapt the activity to make it age appropriate for example climb a tree, I let the girls climb as high as they are capable and pick a small easy to climb tree.

Our project is to get together a team of 50 bloggers, with a wide range of ages of children, and for each blogger to video one of the activities from the list. The idea is to show that the list is accessible to all age ranges and is relatively simple to do. Also to show how much fun you can have completing the list.

Today the girls and I undertook our activity from the list, a long bike ride. I guess the first point is the definition of long. For me a long walk is over an hour, but a long walk to my 3 year old is 15 minutes. The same with a bike ride. For me a long bike ride is a good few hours but for my daughter its around 15 minutes. I was quite surprised then that she managed 1 hour and a half. That is a long bike ride.

I filmed the bike ride but have selected certain bits to make a shorter video

My daughter loved it and is growing in confidence on her bike. I love that 50 things to do before 11 3/4 encourages children of all ages to get outside and be active, and to try new things. Why not take a look at the list for yourself?

This day I love the places you will go.
