Obesity, sedentary living, and poor eating habits plague kids today! At an alarming rate, kids are developing adult diseases: high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart conditions! Time to stop this dangerous trend so kids develop positive life-long habits to lead healthier, more active lives!

Inexpensive, easy-to-make OPT puppets and creative activities help kids discover how lungs breathe, teeth chew, and stomachs digest by making colorful puppets with zip-loc baggies, markers, scissors, and tape. You’ll make a: Stomach, Lungs, Teeth, Skull and Brain, Skeletal Hand, Kidneys and Bladder, and a Heart. Some color here, a snip there, and you have a puppet that REPLICATES each organ to teach function, responsibility, and loving care!

Each OPT chapter includes:

  • Puppet pattern
  • Basic health info for each organ
  • List of basic, inexpensive materials to make puppet
  • Simple directions to create that puppet

THE OPT culminates with Showtime! Make a simple stage with paper and markers. Then kids crouch behind the stage, holding puppets high, as they act and sing using our:

THE OPT emphasizes the importance of:

  • Good eating habits
