What parents and carers are saying...
“50 Things to Do has given me the confidence to try new things with my daughter. It’s placed more value on the simple things that we can enjoy together and I’ve loved it!”
Fran
“50 Things to Do soon becomes a way of life when you have a young family; days can be planned around the app. [...] I find myself asking more questions to my four-year-old because of all the 50 Things to Do ideas we do together.”

“This is a fantastic app/concept that visually maps out some great ideas on what you can do [...] I use it regularly as a tool to help inspire and shape activities that I do with my children.”

“It's helped my child to be more explorative and curious. He always wants to do the activities and wants to do the ones that he's done before."
