Motherhood: It’s a special title, a badge worn proudly, a rollercoaster of emotions that can leave you feeling batty, and at the same time fill you with the most immense joy. Every day we should celebrate those special humans who make life sweeter and give without the expectation of getting back. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we have created a series of easy to advanced Flowers for Mom crafts for your little ones to share their love and appreciation. Flowers grow and wilt but the love of a mother never goes away!
Enjoy the crafts all month long, and be sure to tag us on social media, @GoNoodle, as you celebrate mom’s everywhere this season!

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that the mental health and wellness of people in communities around the world should be a priority. This is especially true for our children, who are in the process of learning how to manage their daily experiences and establish good mental health habits for the rest of their lives.

How many dances can you name? Hip Hop, the boogie woogie, the mashed potato, the box step, tango, salsa, ballet, dragon dance, and so many more! Men and women have been dancing since the beginning of time to express themselves, celebrate, connect, encourage social interactions, and tell a story. Some of the first evidence of dance comes from 9,000 year old cave paintings in India and tomb paintings in Egypt! Every culture on earth has had some form of dance as part of their cultural and social rituals.
NFL PLAY 60 is the National Football League’s national youth health and wellness campaign that encourages kids to get physically active for at least 60-minutes a day. GoNoodle has teamed up with the NFL to create NFL PLAY 60 inspired videos, activity sheets, and most recently, a live event, to get kids moving in the classroom and at home.
Over the past year, our kiddos use of technology has ramped up even further. Electronics are a go-to for the majority of their needs in and out of the classroom, from tablets, phones, and computers to handheld gaming devices and the next must-have item. As parents and teachers, we are faced with the question, “How do we capture and retain kids’ attention without defaulting to more screen time?”
In 1995, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization or UNESCO established World Book Day to celebrate authors, illustrators, and the importance of reading. Research shows that reading and language development are the basic building blocks for a child’s education, social, and cognitive development. Reading to your children is one of the most important things a parent or caregiver can do. Helping your child establish a love for reading can help them develop greater concentration abilities, higher levels of creativity and imagination, and develop and deepen empathy. A great way to start your child’s passion for reading is to start young and read to them daily.Make it part of your daily routine with them and expose them to a variety of topics. Books are windows into brand new worlds you and your child can discover together!
NFL PLAY 60 Kids Day on February 3rd brought together thousands of kids to have fun and get physically active with their favorite teams, players, mascots, and cheerleaders. We all got to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the Super Bowl, but the Kansas City Chiefs took home the most votes at PLAY 60 Kids Day! With their exercise, the Kansas City Championship Plank, the Chiefs had this season’s top NFL PLAY 60 play! But, the real winner of the big game experience were all the kids who got moving with their favorite NFL teams!
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the pressure of raising little ones that are kind, empathetic, and welcoming of others. Take some of that pressure off of yourself by letting books step in and help you teach some wonderful lessons about the world through stories. We hope these books inspire many conversations and countless learning opportunities for you and your whole family.
Do you have picky eaters, miniature foodies, or some of both at home? Finding a healthy balance between the dos and don’ts for all the food critics in your family is not as complicated as you might think. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025 edition offers a framework to guide you and yours on the path to a healthy relationship with food.
Does your overworked parental brain forget that a holiday is coming until 5 a.m. on the actual day? For example, St. Patrick’s Day, you make grand plans in your mind to turn things green, hide a pot of gold, and sing and dance to perfectly-themed videos. But in reality, you forget the ideas until the wee hours of the morning day-of when it’s too late to do much of anything except pull a green shirt out of the hamper for your kiddo to rock that day.
Social-emotional growth takes time. It’s one of the most important building blocks of our kiddos’ health and well being. When nurtured, it can form a strong foundation to help our kids understand and manage their emotions, feel and show empathy for others, and make responsible decisions. As parents, caregivers, and role models in our kid’s lives, listening to them and knowing the right questions to ask can guide us in helping them learn how to manage, cope, and best express themselves.
La crianza de los hijos es difícil. Desde el momento en que nuestros adorables querubines entran al mundo, surgen desafíos que nosotros, como padres, tenemos que navegar sin un libro de instrucciones. Y, por supuesto, a medida que empezamos a ponernos de pie y a tener la sensación de que realmente sabemos lo que estamos haciendo, nos enfrentamos a un nuevo set de desafíos. Llamemos a este capítulo que nadie podría haber planeado o querido, La pandemia.
Parenting is hard. From the moment our adorable little cherubs enter the world, challenges arise that we, as parents, have to navigate without an instruction book. And of course, as we start to get our feet under us and a sense that we actually know what we are doing, we are met with a new set of challenges. Let’s call this chapter that no one could have planned for or wanted, The Pandemic.

El crecimiento socioemocional lleva tiempo. Es uno de los componentes básicos más importantes de la salud y el bienestar de nuestros niños. Cuando se nutre, puede formar una base sólida para ayudar a nuestros hijos a comprender y manejar sus emociones, sentir y mostrar empatía por los demás y tomar decisiones responsables. Como padres, cuidadores y modelos a seguir en la vida de nuestros hijos, escucharlos y saber las preguntas correctas que hacer puede guiarnos para ayudarlos a aprender cómo manejarse, afrontar y expresarse mejor.
Como padres, nos asustamos y nos avergonzamos cuando no sabemos de inmediato cómo ayudar a nuestros hijos. Pero no hay ningún libro acerca de la crianza de los hijos que se aplique a todos los niños, y ciertamente no hay uno que funcione en este momento. Estamos muy emocionados de decirles que nos hemos asociado con On Our Sleeves®, el movimiento para transformar la salud mental de los niños a través de la educación, la defensa y la investigación, para brindar herramientas a los padres y maestros para ayudar a los niños en este momento.
¿Sabías que el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana comenzó originalmente como una celebración de una semana? Desde entonces, se ha convertido en una celebración mundial de un mes de la cultura, las voces, los logros y la historia de los afroamericanos.

Hemos reunido un calendario lleno de formas en que usted y su familia pueden celebrar la diversidad y la cultura Afroamericano durante todo el año.
Esta temporada navideña puede verse diferente a la de años anteriores, pero eso no significa que tus tradiciones navideñas tengan que llegar a su fin. De hecho, es una razón más para celebrar, encontrar nuevas formas de conectarse y crear.
¡Dos nuevos minijuegos, potenciadores y un aleatorizador de juegos amplifican la diversión del movimiento justo a tiempo para las vacaciones!
