Just a very quick heads-up in time for the school run !
To celebrate National Walk to School Week this week (21st – 26th May), Schleich is giving families an extra incentive to get active by offering the chance to win beautifully hand-painted zebra figures.
To help kids celebrate Walk to School Week, Schleich is offering the chance for them to earn their walking stripes. All children will receive a certificate and the first 100 entrants will receive a Schleich Zebra figure. There are two ways to win – either send in a picture of your child walking to school or print out the colouring sheet and send it in.

As I don't drive my son and I walk everywhere - but this is a good initiative and hope it encourages a lot more people to walk :)
ReplyDeleteSame here ! I know lots of parents do drive their kids to the school though, even when they only live a few minutes walk away, which is bad for the planet, bad for the kids and makes it dangerous for crossing the car park to get to the school gates.
DeleteYeah!Thanks - we have entered! I can drive but don't have a car at the mo. My parents live close by and taxi us anywhere we need to go BUT we prefer to walk, bus or metro to our destinations! I walk my kids to school as it is just across the estate and I also take my neighbours two children too! We have a routine organised where one week I take all the kids to school and my neighbour brings them home then we swap the following week! It works well and keeps us all fit! It annoys me when I see mums (or dads) taking kids by car when they live a five minute walk away!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the ideal solution :)
DeleteIts so important to walk to school you wouldn't believe the number of kids where I work whose parents take them in the car.!
