What would be a healthy gift for kids?

December 11, 2011

Tired of just stuff? Another plastic piece that clutters up the toy box doesn't seem like a healthy choice this Christmas. When you are considering what to buy your children, or other people's children, think about how you can improve their lives- physically, mentally and emotionally. Here are just a few ideas that came to mind for our children this holiday season:

Keep them hydrated year round with reusable water bottles

Fill their stockings with whole fruit (oranges, apples and pears), packages of dried fruit or nuts.

Gift them items that keep them moving like balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, bikes, skates or scooters.

Shh...don't let Jackson and Olivia know but they are getting a basketball hoop, a training bike and helmet for Liv and healthy snacks in their stocking.

The gift of nutrition...what will yours be?
