Handee Band is a stretchy fitness band for kids that comes with an adorable fitness kit. If you have kids, this is a must-have! Not only does Handee Band make fitness fun but it will help make kids feel more confident about their bodies. To learn more about this fantastic fitness kit for kids, please continue reading below.
What is Handee Band?
- Handee Band is a four-foot-long, six-pound resistance band with hand prints printed on the band
- You can purchase just the band, or, you can choose from one of their several kits: Handee Band Exercise Kit, Handee Band Exercise Cards, Handee Band Teacher Pack, or Handee Band Family Pack.
Why is the Handee Band Beneficial for Kids?
Handee Band was created by Francesca, a pediatric OT who was looking for a creative way to engage the children in her clinic in upper-body/core strengthening and play. When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she decided to make it herself.
As a result, Handee Band was born – an exercise kit for children aged 3-7 and up.
We recently had the opportunity to try out this fun exercise kit with our girls (ages one through eight) and they absolutely loved it!
We tried out the Handee Band Exercise Kit for Kids which included:
- One Handee Band
- 15 Handee illustrated exercises with easy-to-follow 5-step directions (with adorable illustrations!!)
- Reusable dry-erase Handee checklist, to track progress (the kids loved checking off the boxes as they completed each exercise)
- One dry-erase Handee marker (that didn’t smell like some dry-erase markers do!)
- One Handee Band spinner board game (that fits perfectly in the vinyl bag in the back of your Handee Band exercise kit for safekeeping)
- 16 stickers of each Handee Band character, to have fun with when taking a break from exercise (the kids loved these as well)
I loved that the flip book was sturdy, included lots of colorful and fun graphics, stood up well, and really motivated the kids to exercise.
The company also sells exercise cards which would also be Handee (pun intended 😉 to keep in the car, diaper bag, or purse for fun on the go.
The flip book and spinner game were so fun for the kids – you could either just flip through the book and select exercises to do, or, you could spin the spinner and see which exercise the spinner lands on.
The graphics are so fun and I love how encouraging the book is.
This might be my favorite though – look at that face! It is impossible not to smile while using this exercise kit for kids – I dare you to try! 🙂 So, whether your kids love to exercise, or especially if they don’t, this is a must-have for every family or classroom.
The kids have been having SO.MUCH.FUN with the Handee Band. They even made up a few of their own exercises. And, thanks to Miss 8’s love of Little House on the Prairie, she turned the Handee Band into horse reins and she and Miss 5 have been playing horse all over the living room the past several days.
I love that there are two perfectly placed handprints on the Handee Band so children know exactly where to place their hands.
And, if your kids are anything like mine and love to make and cross off to-do lists, the included checklist will make their day!
Because we don’t have a yard for the kids, I like to keep fun things on hand to keep the kids active until we can get outside for the day. Handee Band is now a staple in our “stay active” bin in the living room.
I love that Handee Band encourages children of all ages to exercise. Honestly, they make it so fun and easy to get the wiggles out that I would highly recommend it to every family.

Our most favorite character is "Kung-Foole", he does the 'Karate Chop'. So funny! Our favorite way to exercise is to garden & fish. Gardening accomplishes so many life skill aspects. Fishing is just so much fun!

Our farourite ways to exercise as a family are bike riding and swimming. Living in S.A. we are blessed with such beautiful weather that this is possible for most of the year.
