Building Blocks for a Healthy Future Kit

This kit includes fun, colorful, interactive materials for parents and caregivers to use with their children. The materials—which come in a game board-style box—are designed to help children make decisions, gain confidence, and improve self-esteem. Included are:

• Building Blocks Family Guide
This guide contains ideas for fun activities and discussion starters, as well as advice and guidance on topics such as active listening, rule making, and being a good role model. It also can be used as a guide to the rest of the Building Blocks materials.
• Activity Book
Through fun activities, children will learn to make good decisions, explore their emotions, and discover how enjoyable physical activity can be.
• Character Cards
These Character Cards introduce children to the Building Blocks “friends” and provide details on each of their dreams, fears, and favorite activities.
• Building Blocks Music CD
This CD includes songs that provide positive messages, encourage physical activity, and help children feel good about themselves. A CD booklet filled with all the words to the songs allow children to sing along with the “friends."
• ABC Coloring Book
The ABC Coloring Book, which uses pictures to teach the alphabet, helps children develop their creative sides, practice their reading skills, and learn alliteration with the accompanying text.
• Know Kit Cards
The Building Blocks Know Kit Cards provide discussion topics for parents and caregivers to use as they talk to children about the world and their bodies and minds. Age-appropriate questions help children expand their thinking and practice making decisions. The cards also offer suggestions for activities related to the questions.
