Children’s TV character Sportacus, is joining forces with Change4Life, to inspire children to eat healthily.<\/p>\n
The LazyTown character has been voted the most healthy children’s character on TV, known for his fitness and love of fruit and veg\u00a0called ‘Sports Candy’<\/p>\n
The partnership is aiming to encourage children between the ages of two and five to be more active and ditch the junk food.<\/p>\n
Creator and star of LazyTown, Magnus Scheving said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be working with Change4Life in targeting children aged two to five years old. I believe that the blueprint for becoming a healthy, fit adult is set at this age and it is the reason why campaigns like this are so important.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see the Government reaching out to the under fives where they can make such a positive difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 3,600 Sure Start Children’s Centres will be receiving a Change4Life activity pack featuring LazyTown fun ideas, activities, recipes and a sticker wall chart.<\/p>\n
Public Health Minister Anne Milton said:\u201cEating well and being active is crucial, especially at an early age.<\/p>\n
