Here are five fun ways to teach hand-washing and stress its importance!
For the reason hand-washing rates aren’t 100% in adults, the same exists for kids. We can’t see the germs so it’s hard to view them as dangerous. To change that, we’ve found some creative ways people are already demonstrating the presence of germs to children!
Children of all ages like routine. Regardless of their efforts to fight against teeth brushing, vegetable eating, and quiet time in school, kids thrive within regular schedules. It increases their sense of security within their surroundings and among the people they interact with. So how do we make routines appealing? We mix up the same action with some engaging additions!
With children, it’s all about the perspective—as you well know. If they see hand-washing as an obligation, they’re less likely to do it. If you morph it into an exciting task where they get something out of it—stickers, independence, or a few new dance moves—they’ll eventually associate hand-washing with happiness.
Integrating a child-height portable sink in schools and daycare facilities has been shown to increase hand-washing rates in children! Providing a portable sink that meets kids where they are allows them to demonstrate independence and their own capabilities.
Every one of Ozark River Manufacturing’s child-height portable sinks is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, allowing for complete autonomy when those little ones are washing up. We are the market’s leading portable sink providing warm water accessibility, making for a more comfortable hand-washing experience for everyone.
Combine a portable sink with some of the fun activities above and you’ll have a whole classroom of clean hands before you know it.
So on that note, happy hand-washing everyone!
