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.

“Its not over, until the Lord says its over.”
“Challenge your fears! Find your potential.”
"We must examine our struggles with forgiveness in which there are not overt offenses or blatant betrayals. I'm convinced that seeds of resentment take root in the silent frustrations that never get discussed."

“I wasn’t trying to be rich or famous. I was trying to figure out what is this thing in me that won’t let me sleep that makes me restless and makes me keep pushing. I was trying to discover who I was.”
“There is a higher power, a higher influence, a God who rules and reigns and controls circumstances and situations that are beyond your area and realm of authority.”

“Being angry is human. Staying angry is foolish.”
“It is important to remember that for every person, there will be a problem. Even more importantly, for every problem, our God has a prescription.”

“Don’t mistake delays for destiny, you may be delayed but you have not been denied.”
“The art of avoiding extremes is an art that is drawn on the canvas of maturity and painted with the abstract strokes of many experiences.”
“You can’t be who you’re going to be and who you used to be at the same time.”
“You’d be surprised at the things that look great on the outside but are dysfunctional on the inside. Be sure to function as good as you look.”
"When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt."
"Arrogance always destroys opportunity."
“Real value isn't in what you own, drive, wear or live. The greater value is found in love and life, health and strength, friends and family!”
"To be unforgiving is like to drink poison and wait for someone else to die."
“If you don't find a way to love a flawed person, secretly you're teaching yourself that you are not lovable because of your flaws.”

“Stop expecting your job to fund your vision. Your vision is probably bigger than your paycheck.”

“Some people are so poor, the only thing they got is money.”
“Forgiveness liberates the victim. It’s a gift you give yourself.”
“There is something down inside of you that knows there is more and it’s roaring to get out.”
“A woman who walks on purpose doesn’t have to chase people or opportunities. Her light cause people and opportunities to pursue her.”

“Progress apart from purpose ends in arrogance.” - 'Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits'.
"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice."
"Much like the removal of moles and skin lesions is done to prevent them from growing into more serious skin abnormalities, removing minor discord before it becomes a calamity is an important use of our time."
"Faith is the substance of whatever it is that we hope for."
