Fit From the Start

The Fit from the Start campaign targets South Dakota’s 2- to 5-year-olds and provides parents and caregivers with the tools and information they need to offer their kids healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity. Helping young kids adopt these kinds of healthy behaviors will have lasting benefits. “Fit from the Start” has educational materials for parents and caregivers, all emphasizing healthy eating habits and regular physical activity. Items available include:

• dry erase magnet (front, back) - send an email to request
