50 Things To Do Before You’re Five
Discover a free app that provides a range of fun-filled activities for families with young children in Birmingham.
Have you heard about 50 Things To Do Before You’re Five?
50 Things To Do Before You’re Five is a free app offering a menu of exciting activities for families with young children, giving suggestions for how to have fun and learn simultaneously.
The initiative, in partnership with Family Hubs Birmingham, is based on the simple notion that access to fun, low or no-cost experiences with your family, indoors and outdoors, is a great way to support young children’s development.
Each of the 50 Things has been carefully developed by education experts and early years practitioners following consultation with parents.
We’ve ensured that children with special education needs are included and that each of the 50 Things means something across our culturally diverse communities.
The app is available on iOS and Android — download it today.
