NDNA’s Healthy Body, Happy Me campaign returns

Thousands of children will be baking healthy cakes and holding Strictly Kids Dancing events as part of NDNA’s annual health and wellbeing week, from 18 to 24 April.

The Healthy Body, Happy Me campaign is run by the National Day Nurseries Association and maps out a week’s worth of fun activities – designed to teach children about the importance of physical and emotional health.

Activity ideas are provided free and themed around each day:

Monday – Eat well, feel fantastic! All about healthy eating, send in your recipes and photos

Tuesday – Caring for our bodies Look after your body by brushing your teeth, and try a great activity which shows children what germs on hands do to our food

Wednesday – Magic movers Take part in Strictly Kids Dancing, teaching the children a basic routine, then let them judge you with scoring paddles, or hold your own Mini Olympics
