Getting children active shouldn’t feel like a challenge. But for many families, schools, and providers - it is. Between screens, limited time, and the pressure to keep children engaged, finding simple, meaningful ways to encourage movement can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly why we created Outdoor Summer Fun.

One of the most powerful things about activity books is what happens after the club finishes for the day.

Matt Weston made sporting history this week. Winning Team GB’s first ever men’s Olympic gold medal in skeleton, he didn’t just stand on the podium — he set a track record in all four runs. It was a dominant performance. But his story didn’t start on an ice track.

This guide is packed with practical tips you can use right away — especially if you’re new to running sessions or stepping into a busy club for the first time. Think of it as a friendly bit of backup: a handful of ideas, reminders, and confidence-boosters to help you bring out the best in every child, no matter the weather.

This summer, thousands of children across the country got stuck into our Food Explorer Quest activity books — learning, laughing, and playing their way to healthier habits.

Give a child a camera and something magical happens. They stop rushing, start looking, and begin to notice details that adults often miss — a raindrop balanced on a leaf, the way shadows stretch across the pavement, or the smile of a friend caught in a split second.

When we first gave out plantable pencils, they seemed like a fun little extra for children to take home. But what happened next surprised even us.

This summer, over 5,000 children across Derbyshire will be getting their hands on something fruity, fun, and full of positive vibes — and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.

We’re excited to introduce something a little bit magical – the world’s only plantable pencil, now available as an add-on with our Active Healthy Happy magazine!

At The Wonder Company, we believe that healthy choices should be fun, engaging, and accessible for every child — especially during the holidays.

Why we created the WonderKit: a flexible, ready-to-go solution designed to enhance HAF programmes your way.
