While in ‘Learn’, one can go through a long list of articles, news, facts all about how to maintain a healthy lifestyle at a very young age,.

The site achieves its goal of encouraging kids to play hopscotch, do jumping jacks, and cook up a yummy dish and staying away from the computer most of the day by providing stuff in kid-friendly language and colourful and funky graphics. All the recipes are designed to appeal to kids. And a lot of the exercise tips are things kids can do very easily, like the around-the-house scavenger hunt.
