What is Live 5-2-1-0?
Advice on proper nutrition and physical activity can be confusing, and at times overwhelming. Live 5-2-1-0 simplifies this information into four simple guidelines that are easy to remember.
Live 5-2-1-0 Playboxes offer parents and caregivers new ideas on how to play with their kids supplying the necessary games and sports equipment and providing unlimited access and opportunity for families to get outdoors and engage with other families through active play. Playboxes help to enhance environments and remove some of the barriers to access for active outdoor play, as well as foster social connectedness.
