  • Make sure you avoid things that could hurt you or get broken
  • Feel free to swap or change activities if you can't do them
  • Just move, play and have fun and colour in your stars!

FAMILY

  • Help children to move and play at home by clearing some space
  • Keep them safe and clear away sharp or breakable objects
  • Encourage your family to do an activity each day for at least 20 minutes
  • Joining in with children is a great way to have fun together!
