Physical Activity
Start your week off right today with some gentle yoga. Then, when you’re ready to get moving, try a KIDZ BOP dance – and play some balloon volleyball indoors or out! We’ve also included some calming stretches that are great for winding down.

  3. Balloon Volleyball ○ Make a net by tying a piece of yarn from one chair to another. Then use a balloon or beachball and start hitting the ball/balloon back and forth over the net! No net? No Problem! See how many times you can hit it in the air without it hitting the floor. For other fun activities to play with balloons, visit this website!

Wonderful Rainbow Water!

Did you know that many popular drinks like soda, sports drinks and even juice can have as much as 10 teaspoons of sugar added? Yikes! That much sugar is not good for our bodies or our teeth. Did you also know that water has zero sugar? This is what makes water our healthiest drink. But healthy does not need to be boring!
