Get up & grow: healthy eating and physical activity for early childhood: learning through active play (2009)

Description

The Get up and grow: healthy eating and physical activity for early childhood guidelines and accompanying resources have been developed by child health and early childhood professionals in collaboration with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. This collection of resources has been developed in consultation with people from urban, regional and remote locations, some with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, some from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, and some who care for children with a disability.

The Get up and grow resources are designed to be used in a wide range of early childhood settings by families, staff and carers.

There are six posters for early childhood settings to encourage healthy eating and physical activity in young children:

• Less is best for screen-time
• Water: a healthy and essential drink
• Your baby's first foods
• Learning through active play
• Finding new flavours
• Travel the active way.
