Arlo’s allergy-friendly activities
For inspiration on how to get involved, take a look at Arlo’s food allergy-friendly fundraising ideas and activities for your nursery, primary school, out-of-school club or group.
Celebrate Arlo’s Birthday on June 6!
Raise allergy awareness on ‘Purple Day’ and celebrate Arlo’s birthday! Arlo loves fundraising and he would love you to join him.
Join Arlo and Natasha’s Foundation on June 6 to celebrate Arlo’s birthday. Why not wear purple for the day, it’s Arlo’s favourite colour!
Encourage your whole nursery, primary school, out-of-school club or group to dress in purple for the whole day.
You could wear purple socks, purple clothes or you could even design your own purple armadillo shells! It’s all about taking part and having fun.
Let us know how you will be celebrating Arlo’s birthday and we’ll help you every step of the way.
“Hello everyone! My name is Arlo and I am an armadillo. I am allergic to milk, sesame and eggs, which means if I eat them they can make me very poorly.
My school hosts a Free From Cake Sale so that I can take part in fundraising and enjoy delicious, yummy treats! I am very excited to see what food allergy-friendly activity you decide to do.“
Arlo’s Allergy-Friendly Sponsorship Ideas
Draw Arlo
Challenge your students to showcase their artistic skills by creating Arlo using their favourite materials. You could ask them to draw, paint, build or create Arlo in any way they love and then display them in your nursery, primary school, out-of-school club or group.
Free From Bake
Make your favourite treats without some of the top 14 food allergens. It’s a wonderful way to understand more about living with a food allergy and make sure everyone feels included.
Decorate your cakes with our beautiful Arlo cake toppers!
Jumping Competition
Did you know some armadillos can jump four or five feet high? Inspire your students to get active and fundraise by holding a jumping competition. Over one week see how many jumps the children can do at your nursery, primary school, out-of-school club or group and the child or class with the highest number of jumps wins a prize.
Bug Hunt Challenge
Armadillos love to eat bugs! Hold a bug hunt challenge and see how many bugs, beetles, worms, and insects your children can find.
