Here is a quick reminder
Model hand washing for your children!. If they see you washing your hands it will be a good reminder to them.
- Wash hands together and make it fun!
- Teach them to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" while washing hands (20 seconds).
- Have your child pick out a special hand washing soap.
- Help your child reach the sink by placing a stool in front of it for them to stand on when you are with them.
