The campaign, which is taking place throughout the UK, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland during May, will see day nurseries, pre-schools and playgroups and schools encouraged to 'Make Music with Marvin'. Children can be sponsored to make their own musical instruments out of plastic bottles, cans and other everyday household objects, and even hold a concert for parents.
The charity is offering a free resource pack for early years settings full of ideas on how to make musical instruments. It also includes a special 'Marvin' song, as well as stickers, balloons and paper banners.
Meningitis and septicaemia affect children aged under five more than any other age group. To help parents and carers recognise the symptoms, the Foundation has launched free information packs called Tot Watch and Baby Watch.
