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.

Emerging from the East African country Kenya, this day is celebrated worldwide with people showcasing their support from several regions. The United Nations sets out multiple themes, and it is followed everywhere in its fashion.
Many rural areas, non-profit organizations, and countries showing improvement in their habitat developments celebrate it.
Nairobi, Kenya, was the celebration's host in the city for the inauguration of World Habitat Day in 1986, with the theme 'Shelter is My Right.'
There's no specific name on who started this day. However, it first took place in Nairobi, Kenya, which the United Nations General Assembly organized, and from then onwards, the first Monday of October is celebrated.
The first World Habitat Day was celebrated in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1986 with the theme 'Shelter is My Right.' The United Nations Human Settlements Programme established the Habitat Scroll of Honor award in 1989. It is now the world's most prestigious human settlements award. Its goal is to recognize efforts that have made remarkable achievements in many domains, such as shelter supply, raising awareness of the homeless situation, developing human settlements, and increasing the liveability of urban sustainability.
The United Nations Habitat emphasizes the need for city planning to minimize the uncontrolled growth of urban regions and the attendant difficulties that ensue. Many individuals from rural areas worldwide wish to relocate to cities to pursue their goals of a better life. On the other hand, cities may become a breeding ground for marginalization, inequality, and social alienation.
The day is marked by various activities, events, and talks around urban challenges. The goal of World Habitat Day is to raise awareness about the status of cities and towns and the fundamental right of all people to sufficient carbon-neutral housing.
The United Nations General Assembly organized World Habitat Day in 1986 in Nairobi, Kenya.
World Habitat Day is observed every year on the first Monday of October.
People observe this day by participating in various activities and events organized to spread awareness about habitat conservation and encourage citizens to create a sustainable living environment.
People celebrate raising awareness towards the inadequate residential support, poor marginalizations, poverty, and insufficient development of the rural areas, basically to improve the quality of life.
It helps raise support for adequate shelter and employment opportunities and deducing the rural regions. The global observance of this annual event is advantageous in extending the UN's shelter provision, yclept' un habitat' to every corner of the world.
