Unique Educational Toys and Tools to Enhance a Family Health Initiative

All this talk about health insurance reform – it seems that Americans have lost sight of the goal – HEALTH.  It seems that everyone has become so focused upon controlling the management and financing of sickness that they have forgotten that they DO have control of their health.  Sickness is NOT inevitable.  It’s important to teach our children how to manage their health and avoid sickness and infection.  Parents will need to expand their knowledge base for health promotion, too.  This means learning more about microbiology and infection prevention, anatomy and physiology of the human body, nutrition and food safety, and behaviors that enhance wellness and reduce risk of disease.  The nanobugs can teach the entire family about infection prevention and microbiology while they entertain and engage young and old. 

Last week we had a request from and Lincoln, NE mother for a DVD that plays the animations of the nanobugs as they appear in the menagerie on the website She wants to use this DVD to educate and entertain her children in the van/SUV.  What a great idea – to make use of that transport time for learning about the nanobug characters and their good or bad influence on our health.  I now have visions of families moving about town singing the nanobugs songs and “rapping” with Hepatitis A.  Then add a nanobugs card collection and you’ve got children engaged in independent learning about microbiology.  We are quickly creating the requested nanobugs DVD and will offer it on the website store next week.  But on CyberMonday – November 30^th through December 7^th – we will provide a free nanobugs DVD to customers who order a card collection.  Just click on “contact us” on the website (immediately after you place your order) and say “send me the nanobugs DVD with my card collection”.  Let the nanobugs help regain your family focus upon health and wellness – and have some laughs and smiles while your at it!
