50 things to do before you're 11¾

From splashing in rain puddles to cooking on campfires or foraging for fossils, the colder weather is perfect for 50 things adventures. Make sure to wrap up warm and don't forget your wellies!

We've picked out top recipes to cook with kids. Quick, easy and delicious, take a look at recipes for cakes, biscuits and savoury snacks.

If you're wrapped up warm and in waterproof clothes, there's nothing better than playing in the white stuff from making snow angels to snow men, snowball fights and sledging. Snow makes everything seem magical.

All you'll need for this challenge is a rainy day, some wellies and yourself! Running around in the rain might seem crazy when you start, but you'll soon be splishing and splashing around like a fish.

Winter is a great time to complete this challenge: there are lots of sticks around and it’s easier to spot them on the ground. You can also complete some other '50 things' with your sticks. You could use them to make a mud creation. Or maybe they'll make the perfect pooh sticks?
