❄️ Snow day? Don’t let the weather stop the fun! Kids need to play and move every day—rain, shine, or snow. Put on warm clothes and head outside for sledding, making snow angels, or taking a winter walk. Fresh air and exercise help kids feel good and stay healthy!

How are your kids enjoying the snow today? Share your photos below!

Who's up for some Thanksgiving Bingo? Whatever you do, have a healthy and happy day!

11/24/2025

Thanksgiving is almost here here! While we celebrate, let’s keep our kids healthy and happy:

✅ Eat the rainbow – Make half your plate fruits and veggies for a colorful, balanced meal.
✅ Move together – Kids need 60 minutes of active play every day. Try a family walk after dinner!
✅ Practice gratitude – Encourage kids to share what they’re thankful for—it boosts mental health and resilience.
✅ Create safe spaces – Healthi Kids works to make neighborhoods play-friendly for all children.

Let’s make this holiday season about health, happiness, and community! 💛

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, take a moment to watch Indigenous themed programs with your kids--or by yourself! We recommend --an animated comedy that follows the life of a 10-year-old Alaska Native girl--and --an animated show that follows Native American siblings who are secretly help protect the national park they call home.
