50 Things to Do Before You’re Five is an initiative that features 50 fun, low-cost, or no-cost activities tailored to Cambridgeshire for families to share with their children, to help support them in being ready for the next stage in their education.
The 50 activities, low- or no-cost activities, include fun indoor, outdoor, seasonal, home-based, and out-and-about ideas that will get your child off to a flying start with their learning and language development.
Each experience has been suggested by parents, carers, and professionals and developed by early years experts and language specialists, to create a resource for children under five and the grown-ups in their lives.
Alongside the 50 activities, when accessing the initiative via the app or webpage, you can also browse low or no-cost live events across Cambridgeshire, tailored for families with children from birth to five. The 50 Things to Do local events page is updated monthly, providing a one-stop shop for ideas at home or whilst out and about, for families with children from birth to five years.
Parents and carers can download the free app from the Apple App Store and Google Play:
If you are not able to access the internet regularly or would like to record which of the 50 things you have done on paper, please reach out to Philippa.Sutton@cambridgeshire.gov.uk for a free 50 Things to Do fold-out leaflet.
