Animal Yoga Cards: I love taking these with me to the zoo. It’s such a fun and easy way to incorporate movement into your day. And the best part is you don’t have to be a yoga expert. All the instructions for each pose are laid out on the back of the card.
Recipes: One thing about me is I am always on the hunt for new recipes. Fit has a ton of nutritious recipes perfect for the whole family. I have personally made the apple donuts, sweet green smoothie, and roasted carrot chips dozens of times!
Lunch Box Notes: Going hand and hand with recipes are the lunch box notes! They are a great way to add a boost of positivity to your little’s day!

Preparing Your Child for a Doctor Visit: Created for both caregivers and kiddos, you will discover everything you need to feel not only prepared but also confident for your child’s next doctor visit. Some of the pieces I especially love in this resource are a pretend medical play kit, a check-up checklist, and tons of helpful tips for caregivers. Prior to my time with the fit team, I worked as a child life specialist, and I promise these types of activities may seem small but can have a big impact on your child’s medical experiences.
Rainbow Snack Ramble: This follow-along video is filled with fun movements and hidden educational gems. I love doing this video with my three-year-old son. He gets so excited every time he spots a new snack and gets to fill up the “broccoli guys” backpack. I like to stream the video from my phone to our TV, allowing our whole family to run the rainbow road together. Bonus, it is a great way to keep kids active when you are stuck indoors!
Cheat Sheet for Caregivers: Coping with BIG Feelings and Anxiety: As a mom who is currently navigating toddlerhood, I understand how challenging it can be to keep cool and navigate kids’ big feelings. I really love this resource because it provides simple, easy-to-implement strategies for supporting my son when he is experiencing a tough time.
