Kavi Plans a Healthy Day
Kavi pins a big chart to the wall and grabs a pen 📋. "I'm planning a healthy day! My body needs the same four things every single day: a balanced meal 🍎, time to move and play 🏃, keeping clean 🧼, and enough sleep 😴. Miss one and I don't feel my best. Help me build a day that gives my body all four — then we'll check our own days too!"
