Notes

This quest set is extremely easy, considering the amount of reputation you receive.
It is only available for a limited time.
The quests are considered new each year (having done the series in a previous year does not prohibit you from repeating it in the following year).
The Outland and Azeroth quests are separate from each other, and both can be completed in the given week.
You can do these quests for as long as you possess the whistle, even after children's week is completed. However, the vendors of ice cream will no longer be in Stormwind/Orgrimmar so you'll have to go to Thousand Needles to purchase it.
