Who says preschoolers can’t help raise money for Red Nose Day too? Comic Relief has teamed up once again with Bluey to help make fundraising all the more fun for your little ones! Not only does Comic Relief have many Bluey-themed learning resources available for teachers and parents on their website, but they also have some adorable ideas that will surely get your little ones excited about Red Nose Day. Below are our favourite ways your little fundraisers can get involved:

Go for a walk - Make every step count this Red Nose Day by planning a sponsored walk! Plan out your route, print out the Bluey Sponsor form and gather up the little ones. As you walk feel free to collect donations from anyone you pass by while you have the little ones collect things they find on their walk to keep as mementoes.
Have a bake sale - Bake sales are one of the most delicious ways to raise money for Red Nose Day! Help your aspiring bakers whip something up in the kitchen and sell your creations to other students, teachers or parents. You can even have your little fundraisers decorate the bakes to make them extra special.
Dress up - What could be more fun than playing dress up? Have your students dress up on Red Nose Day in return for a small donation. Pick a theme and host a competition where the student with the funniest costume gets a prize!
