🧒You are getting bigger. How does that work? Let's look.

🦴Bones can grow longer. New bone is made at a growth plate.

🦵A long bone grows at each end. Not from the middle.

🥛Calcium helps build strong bones. Milk, yogurt and cheese have calcium.

🍎Eat well each day. A good plate is half vegetables and fruit.

🛏️Sleep helps you grow. Growing bodies need rest.

⚽Kids 3 to 5 should be active all day. Play is the best exercise.

🧒Each child grows at their own pace.

🦴Food, sleep and play help you grow. Bones grow at their ends.
