Local businesses, clubs, organizations and individuals are encouraged to participate in this campaign by decorating and displaying their very own Cardboard Kid in a prominent place on Thursday April 6. They can then take a picture of their family’s cardboard kid and share it on social media using the hashtag #cardboardkidsSA. Parents are also encouraged to use this time to talk to their children about child about and personal safety. Tips on how to do this are available online.
