Change4Life has teamed up with superhero Sportacus from popular children’s TV show LazyTown to encourage young children aged between two and five to be more active and eat healthier food.
Eating well and being active can help prevent children developing serious illnesses later in life. New physical activity guidelines also show that once a child can walk they should be physically active for at least 180 minutes a day.
To launch the partnership, Sure Start Children’s Centres in England will receive new Change4Life activity packs featuring all the LazyTown stars. The packs contain fun ideas for group activities and parents at home, such as healthy recipe ideas and a sticker wall chart. This will help children track their progress as they become as active and healthy as Sportacus.
