Did you know that February got it’s name from the Latin word Februum which means “purification’? The Romans believed it was the month to cleanse and get ready for spring, which is where the idea of spring cleaning comes from! So why not get your little ones to spring clean this month? Give them an empty box and ask them to put any toys, books or clothes in it that they no longer want and introduce them to the idea of spring cleaning! Even though lockdown means that charity shops aren’t open to donate to there are still plenty of places to recycle unwanted goods.Check your local areas for charities that will arrange doorstep collections of donated goods or local refuse centres that have recycling sections are all mostly open through this lockdown.
