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.

Back in 1977, Blair Parry-Okeden married Simon Parry-Okeden and moved to Australia to live with him. His father was the director of the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales and Simon was a distinguished agriculturalist.

Its media group owns several radio stations, television channels, and newspapers and its auto division holds AutoTrader.com, Kelley Blue Book, and Manheim. James M. Cox founded the company in 1898 and though Blair Parry-Okeden plays no role in the business, inherited her mother’s share.
Blair Parry-Okeden is well known for her charity work and has donated liberally to the University of Hawaii's Centre on Ageing Strathearn Village and the Scone Grammar School in Australia. Back in 2008, Blair Parry-Okeden donated $2 million to the Center on Aging at the University of Hawaii.
