Health and Sport
It is an educational fairy tale for children about a healthy lifestyle, how important it is for children to eat healthy food and engage in sports. The action takes place in the Kingdom of Food where Miss Health and buddy Sport lived. Health took care of healthy and delicious food while Sport was taking care of movement and games. Their house is the healthy food pyramid where food products are arranged based on their importance for the body: the most useful ones are cereal products and we need sweets the least of all. However, their neighbour Vingys Tinginys [Lazy Sloth] did not listen to the wise advice, ate unhealthy food, did not engage in sports and got sick. Fortunately Health, Sport, and a team of Vitamins rushed in to help just in time and saved the poor thing. From now on Vingys is happy to be friends with his neighbours and leads a healthy lifestyle.
Creation of the fairy tale was ordered by Vilnius Territorial Health Insurance Fund. The readers of magazine “Tipu Tapu” are welcome to make their own fairy tale – mini book by taking out the middle page of the magazine, bending and cutting the page and putting the small pages to a mini book.
The fairy tale was illustrated by painter Eglė Šablevičiūtė.
