Just wondered - www.bigbughunt.org
I want to do it and have downloaded all the stuff. Do your parents mind doing sponsored activities?
I don't want to print off loads of sponsor forms if I am going to get a negative response.
I was thinking of doing all the activities with the children and then sending off a donation myself.
Do you think that would be better?

Hi yes myself and some other childminders are going to do it. I was going to get the parents to sponsor but maybe a donation is a better idea. Not sure now, I know I find sponsor forms really annoying when they come home from school.

I normally just give a donation when we do these activities, feel guilty asking parents for money and would feel even worse if they said no :blush:

I've just had a look at the site and it looks really good.
Have registered and downloaded some stuff and will send a donation instead of asking/hassling the parents - just incase they say no:blush:
