This month at Discovery Place Kids, we are taking care of our bodies and exploring ways to stay healthy.

Little guests will learn how to choose healthy foods, get moving with exercise and learn how to care for their teeth through a variety of fun, family-friendly activities throughout February.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, find out how to make fun artwork using fruits and vegetables. On Wednesdays and Fridays, discover all the things your body needs to have a strong, healthy heart.
