Take it Outside Week!

The National "Take it Outside Week" will be celebrated throughout the country from October 16 – 22nd, 2011.
Did you know:

• Today's children spend less time outdoors than any generation in history?
• American preschoolers watch 32 hours of television a week?
• Outdoor play provides more opportunities for moderate to vigorous activity (MVPA) than indoor play?
• Current research indicates that children who regularly play outdoors are healthier, smarter and happier than children who do not?

With benefits like that, what are we waiting for?!
