Healthy Harold Wasn’t Always The Wholesome Giraffe We Know Today

If you were in primary school during the ‘80s and ‘90s, chances are you remember Healthy Harold.

But, the Harold you knew then might look a little bit different today. Back in the 80s, Harold had bloodshot eyes as kids were given a stark look at the impact of unhealthy choices like drinking and smoking. These days Harold is a bit more bright-eyed and bushy tailed, but he’s still teaching kids how to live a safe and healthy life.

CEO of Life Education Australia Kellie Sloane has seen small children talk to Harold when they would not say a word to anyone else. Kellie says, “There’s magic with Harold. He’s the hook that we hang our lessons on. He’s the star, he’s a trusted giraffe, as strange as that sounds”
