If the wet weather is making your kids stir crazy, send them along to your local library to take part in The Big Wild Read. It's challenges kid's to read six books and to keep track of them in a special folder. For every book they read they can stick a tree token to their folder, and at the end of the challenge all of the tree tokens will go towards planting trees via the Woodland Trust Trees For All campaign.

The Big Wild Read is linked to the BBC's Breathing Places campaign, which encourages us all to get friendly with wildlife. 28 countries across the world will be taking part in the BWR this summer, and libraries will hand out certificates and other incentive to children who complete the challenge. A great way to get kids reading books, and introducing them to nature and all it has to offer.
