Sky News's "33 things to do before age 10"

Adults have long compiled lists of things to achieve before they die – but now youngsters are being encouraged to tick off their own "must do" list. Making a mud pie and organising a teddy bears’ picnic are two of the activities kids should apparently indulge in before their 10th birthday. . . . Up to 1,000 adults were polled for the list which forms part of Persil’s Dirt Is Good campaign to encourage children to exercise.
