Children's Day 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of the National Event in Aotearoa!

This year's Children's Day is Sunday 7 March 2010 and the theme is "Praise and Encouragement".

New Zealand's Children's Day is a national, non-commercial day to celebrate how special and important our children are.

So to start this theme, we praise our many event organisers! They have organised hundreds of Children’s Day events over the last decade. We encourage you to think about what you might do to celebrate Children's Day 7 March 2010.

Throughout this site you will see our fun Children's Day characters (pdf 421KB): Ben, Kate, Rua, Jess and Patch the dog. They are busy deciding on what they will be doing on Children's Day, have you decided what you are going to do yet?
