Get children moving... anytime, anywhere!

On the Go
Instead of walking to the car, encourage kids to jump like frogs or hop like bunnies. Even when buckled into a car seat, kids can stretch: reach up high, twist from side to side to look out both windows, and reach down low to tickle their toes!
In Front of the Television
Turn commercial breaks into quick dance parties—get up and dance until the commercial is over!
In the Bedroom
