Keeping CleanMy Checklist • Brush my teeth • Brush my hair • Clean my fingernails • Put my clothes in the washing basket • Have a shower or bath
Steps for Having a Shower or Bath • Wet the wash cloth and wash your face • Keep the cloth damp and put soap onto it so it stays bubbly • Wash under your arms • Wash your neck, stomach and back • Wash your private parts • Wash your arms and legs • Wash your feet (use a scrubbing brush if needed)
Some children will need support to learn how toBlow their Nose. • Here are some creative ideas to try: • Talk with your child about the importance of blowing the nose to keep clean, get healthy faster and prevent the spread of germs. • Model blowing your nose and placing the tissue in the rubbish bin. Describe each step clearly and simply. • If your child appears to have difficulty understanding how to blow, try teaching them blowing with the mouth first. Try blowing out candles, bubbles, a whistle or even blowing a ping pong ball and cotton ball across a table. Make it a game to see who can make the balls go fastest across the longest distance.
