We have been slowly trying to focus on our bodies more and more and making them as healthy as possible. We started by singing, "The Lord gave me a Temple".
We showed a picture of a temple and explained that our bodies are like temples. We talked about the WOW and how exercise, sleep and eating healthy all take part in treating our bodies correctly. We plan to start taking family walks each Sunday, when we start we don't know for sure but hopefully sooner then later.
We then got some of our play kitchen food and picked them out of the bin one by one asking the kids if this was a healthy choice to place in our bodies or unhealthy. It was almost humorous how our kids think that healthy means just that it tastes good, have I failed them (haha). We will slowly teach them that cookies and cakes might taste good but that they aren't healthy for us.
Of course we needed to have an activity so we colored some pictures and we couldn't leave without a treat either even if we had nothing lined up. We found some animal crackers and a tub of icing (healthy right?), so we made our own dunkaroos.
We ended by singing, "If the Savior Stood Beside Me". I love teaching my kids the little things that mean so much in life.
