Peppa Pig will be inviting children to transform their nurseries and classrooms into worlds of creative and crafty dens as part of Save the Children’s Den Day.
The popular television character has been named official ambassador for the international children’s charity’s interactive event, which will raise money for vulnerable children around the world.
As ambassador, Peppa Pig will be offering top tips on building the best dens and have additional activities available to download on the Den Day website. Nurseries and schools who raise the most money will also be eligible for Peppa Pig themed prizes.
Providers can now sign up for a free Den Day kit ahead of the official day of den-building on Friday 17 June.
As well as lesson plans and resources for creating the dens, the kit contains fundraising ideas and information on the children the money will help.
Part of the inspiration for Den Day is to teach children about the challenges children in other parts of the world face in their daily lives.
More than half a million children participated in the children’s charity’s interactive event last year.
Save the Children UK’s head of Fundraising Campaigns Vicky Fallon said, ‘We were amazed at the incredible response of children in 2015 who tool part in Den Day to raise money to help children around the world. By designing their dream den and raising money, school children taking part in Save the Children’s Den Day can help transform children’s lives.’
