         It is natural to move when you are celebrating. Encourage your children to find something that is good in every day and celebrate “it!” This is fitness too. Healthy thoughts help make healthy bodies. Reading stories about celebrating positive events is a wonderful springboard to open up a good conversation. Have the children think of simple things that make them happy. Then find books, music or videos that relate to these and share them together.

      We created movement activities with bubbles and balloons. They are many books that can be used to inspire children’s curiosity using these themes. There are books that are educational such as “Pop! A Book About Bubbles” by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. This book contains a wealth of information about the “science of bubbles” presented in an entertaining and easy to understand manner. There are books that are pure fun and get children using their imagination such as “Where Do Balloons Go: An Uplifting Mystery " by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell.   Both of these books can be purchased from Amazon.com.
