The school holidays are looming and soon you will have to come up with endless ideas to entertain your precious darlings.
Lucky for you, Oxfam have solved the problem for you this weekend and come up with a fun idea that doesn’t cost the world but helps a good cause.
Tomorrow, Friday June 16, communities, parents and schools across Scotland and the rest of the UK will come together for Dressed By The Kids Day.
Brave parents will be handing over the control of their wardrobes to the next generation.
You may end up sitting in a meeting wearing a wet suit, or waving to your boss with a giant foam finger. What the kids say this weekend goes.
Help Oxfam give poverty a dressing down and register with the charity to hand over control of your clothes.
Encourage people at work and school to get involved in this great event which raises vital funds as well as giving everyone a laugh. Head to the back of the wardrobe and raid the dressing up box for an outfit your little ones deem suitable. Or if you have nothing in the house, then head to one of Oxfam’s shops and let the kids have a rummage.

Your local Oxfam shop will be offering Dressed By The Kids Day support and dress rehearsals.
And the fun doesn’t have to stop on Friday. Why not let the kids chose an outfit for you all weekend? You’ll have bags of fun and it is a great way to entertain the family when you’re stuck for ideas! Who doesn’t want to head to the shops dressed as a princess?
Finds raised will go towards Oxfam’s global movement to help people who live in poverty. Together they save and rebuild lives in disasters and help people build better lives for themselves. The charity speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality, discrimination against women and climate change.
