Kayden and I have decided to make today a artsy day. While exploring the web, I came across some fun DIY videos. I found this super cool way to make soap to encourage children to wash their hands. We went to Michaels and got all the supplies we needed. While we were shopping Kayden picked out the little toys he wanted to put into the soap. He chose plastic dinosaurs. Kayden was very excited and I was too. We ended up making these soaps and had a blast doing it.

Kayden is now so eager to wash his hands because of these cool soap bars. He roars like a dinosaur and turned something as simple as washing hands into a fun, enjoyable activity. I'm glad that we stumbled upon this video because I want to teach Kayden the importance of getting into the habit of washing your hands throughout the day. I read an article about the importance of children washing their hands. Kids Health states that, "Kids don't always listen when parents tell them to wash their hands before eating, after using the bathroom, or when they come inside from playing. But it's a message worth repeating — hand washing is by far the best way to prevent germs from spreading and to keep kids from getting sick."
