SPRING FIT WIC

Back to Catholic Charities of Rockville Centre WIC Program-Nassau

Happy Spring!

On April 27th, the Freeport WIC office celebrate the warm weather with our Spring FIT WIC party!

Children between the ages of 2-5 were invited to participate in physical activities, crafts, healthy snacks, and more!

The kids had a great time playing our sandwich game, dancing, and going through a obstacle course.

After running around, we refueled with a healthy snack made with foods you can buy with your WIC checks!

WIC staff creating this easy and healthy recipe!

In honor of Mother’s Day and Spring, we created a hand print flower pot with all of the children. Mom’s and children worked together to make and decorate their craft.

 

While the children played and danced, the mom’s enjoyed a presentation by Blue Cross Blue Shield on childhood obesity.

 

We hope everyone who participated in the event enjoyed it as much as we did!

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our WIC Moms out there!
