Change4Life with LazyTown
Change4Life has
partnered with LazyTown, the popular TV programme for 2- to
5-year-olds, to encourage them to be more active and eat healthier
food.
The lead character, Sportacus, is a great role
model for young children. He loves to eat fruit and vegetables and
is always active, rather than sitting around indoors.
Eating well and being active can help prevent
children from developing serious illnesses later in life and the
latest physical activity guidelines state that once a child can
walk they should be physically active for at least 180 minutes a
day.
New Change4Life activity packs for groups and
for parents have been produced. They are being distributed to all
Sure Start Centres and feature LazyTown characters showing ideas
for fun and games and healthy recipes.
The group pack includes a prize draw to win a
visit from Sportacus. The parents pack includes a prize draw to win
a weekend at Butlins.
The materials can be ordered free from the
Department of Health
Orderline or downloaded at http://www.nhs.uk/c4lLazyTown.
