Things To Do Before You're Three

Yes, its true. A to-do list for toddlers

Written by Kids Confidential. Published on January 18th.

MOST of us have ambitions. Many of us have things that we would like to do or achieve at certain times in our lives such as travel, have children, climb Mount Everest, swim with dolphins...

But now a new definitive check list called 'The Potty List' has been produced which has 'landmark events' for toddlers to reach before they are three years old.

The study, as part of a campaign for Cow & Gate asked 1,000 mums for their suggestions. A list of 36 things for kids to do was compiled.

The list aims to encourage parents to engage with these fun and childlike activities.

It includes things which are pretty much standard stuff for kids like finger painting and feeding the ducks, but there are a few points on there that are a little questionable. Advocating a poo in the bath is not one of our priorities, especially if you're in there too. And a 'first love'...really?

Let's hope that the list is just a bit of fun...
