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 Bible mentions that visiting a loved one's cemetery makes the visitor attain happiness and peace of mind.
Visit A Cemetery Day follows the custom of bringing fresh flowers to the burial grounds of loved ones and paying respect to them. Writing a note for the departed is an old tradition. Even though they are no more, Visit A Cemetery Day keeps the heavenly feeling of attachment between the deceased and the living fresh and lively.
Get a bouquet of fresh flowers and pay tribute to your loved ones who are no more.
Pray and meditate before their graves.
Talk to their graves, share your ideas, or reflect on the past.
You can also pay homage to the victims of accidents or the departed soldiers.
