Eat Right, Play Right, Feel Right!

Play Your Way to the 3 Pillars of HealthKeeping your kids healthy is your number one priority as a parent. But sometimes supporting your kids’ physical, mental, and emotional health can feel like a lot! Luckily, the Experts in Play at Educational Insights are here with three fun ways to play your way to a healthier lifestyle, including:Physical HealthYou know that a healthy diet is critical to your kids’ physical (and mental!) development. But getting preschoolers to graze on foods from all five food groups every day, including fruits, veggies, grains, dairy, and protein, can be tricky. Growing and harvesting your own healthy foods together is one way to get your kids interested. Offering several healthy choices and letting little ones load their own plates is another. And, of course, you can play your way to healthier eating habits with Educational Insights’ Plush Fruit Basket and Vegetable Garden, packed full of super-soft pretend play foods that make healthy options a part of their everyday play.Mental HealthFresh air and exercise are two easy ways to promote your kiddo’s mental health. Practicing gratitude and performing random acts of kindness are two more! But perhaps one of the most important components of mental health at any age is a good night’s sleep. Toddlers need between 12-14 hours; preschoolers between 10-12. If your little one has trouble getting to sleep, the Experts in Play at Educational Insights recommend a consistent bedtime and sleep routine, starting with the Bright Basics Snuggly Storybook Blanket. This sweet set includes a storybook, six plush animals, and a cozy blanket with six pocket “beds”. Read the story, then tuck the animals in. When the story’s done, it’s time for your little one to drift off to dreamland, too.Emotional HealthHelping kids recognize and identify what they’re feeling, express those feelings in an acceptable way, and evaluate their feelings after the fact are a big part of growing an emotionally healthy child. So is building their communications skills and confidence in who they are and what they can do. Developed by teachers and backed by pediatric experts, Educational Insights’ Mixaroo is the perfect parent-child activity, allowing for self-expression, creativity, and conversation as kids mix and match 11 easy-stick pieces to create magical creatures as unique and special as they are!
