CATCH Early Childhood Kit
Description
Based on the evidence-based CATCH Coordinated School Health Program, CATCH Early Childhood (CEC) is designed to promote physical activity and healthy food choices among preschool children ages 3-5. Through CEC, children are motivated to walk, run, jump, dance and move their whole bodies while playing and having fun! This CEC Kit features a Teacher’s Manual with 10 easy-to-teach lessons encouraging healthy eating and activity, English/Spanish parent tips sheets, coloring activities and hand puppets to use while reading stories in the CATCH manual; specially selected equipment that is developmentally appropriate, safe, and gets little ones excited about being active; and the CEC Activity Box with over 500 activity and picture cards providing detailed instruction for fun, non-elimination games using the equipment included with this kit. These games are aimed at increasing children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity while they are engaged and having a blast.• 1 CEC It’s Fun to Be Healthy Teacher’s Manual
