Today I’m sharing a list of 50 Things To Do Before You’re 12. The National Trust launched a brilliant campaign last month to encourage kids to get active outdoors! It is called: 50 things to do before you’re 11 3/4, but I’ve changed it to 50 Things To Do Before You’re 12 as that’s more searchable! So without further ado, read on for the list!
