Promoting Wellness Through Play: Discover How Toys Can Improve Kids’ Health

At Healthy with Heather, we believe that play isn’t just fun—it’s essential for a child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Our mission is to educate parents, caregivers, and educators about the powerful role toys play in promoting a healthy lifestyle for children. Through science-backed insights and practical tips, we explore how the right toys can support movement, learning, emotional balance, and long-term wellness.

Why It Matters
In today’s tech-heavy world, kids are spending more time in front of screens and less time engaging in meaningful play. Our goal is to reverse that trend by empowering parents with knowledge and curated toy guides that support their children’s overall well-being.
We believe that healthy habits start early—and the right toys can help make those habits stick.
