National Heart Month Activity Box


Do you have a leftover heart-shaped box from Valentine's Day? Try making an upcycled activity box to celebrate National Heart Month. Decorate the box as you would like, and fill it with strips of paper that have various short activities, such as "touch your toes 10 times," "dance for one minute" or "skip instead of walk." You can draw an activity out of the box a few times a day to encourage the children and adults in your care to stay active throughout the day.
