While jokes may seem like just fun and games, they play a crucial role in a child’s overall development. Did you know that punny jokes can help children understand language better? It’s a fun way to exercise their brains!

Also, laughter is the best medicine. It releases endorphins, our body’s natural feel-good chemicals. This helps kids to feel happy and can also relieve stress and anxiety.

1. Why did the banana go to the doctor? Because it wasn’t peeling well.
2. Why did the Orange Stop? Because it ran out of juice.
3. Why were the apple and the orange all alone? Because the banana split.
4. What do you call a sad strawberry? A blueberry!
5. What are twins’ favorite fruit?
6. Why did the orange go out with the prune? Because it couldn’t find a date.

8. Positive affirmations: Sending positive notes to children is a powerful tool for shaping a child’s mindset. Words of encouragement can help kids develop a healthy self-image. These reminders can help calm kids down when they’re feeling anxious or stressed.
