At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
The hippie culture of the 1960s brought us a group of people with free spirits and who didn't conform to conventional values and fought for what was right.
This group promoted peace of Earth and exposed the 20th century to an appreciation of nature and beauty. Hippy names are often associated with these two topics and have integral links to being spiritual and creating a love for all people and also love of themselves.
If you are looking for a nature name or a name meaning joy and tranquillity, then popular hippie baby names could be perfect for you! We have compiled a list of baby girl names, boy names and even unisex names for all your groovy, nature-loving requirements.
