Tops and Bottoms, Tops and Bottoms (Rub tops and bottoms of hands)
In between, in between (rub fingers inside on both hands)
All around your hands, all around your hands
Makes them clean, makes them clean

Do your kids know how to wash their hands properly? Do they follow a routine? My kids now wash their hands to the tune of the above hand washing song. It’s fun and easy and your kids too can enjoy themselves while they get a through cleanse of their hands through hand washing.

Washing your hands with antibacterial soap before meals and after an outing is a must to ensure that the harmful bacterial which one may have picked up is removed from your hands. The little hands touch anything and everything and sometimes even end up in their mouth resulting in them falling ill.

Here are the six steps which Monkey boy uses to wash his hands

He squeezes a bit of Lifebuoy Color Changing Soap onto the palm of his hand. The soap gradually changes colour as he rubs the soap across his hand. It turns from a colourless gel to a lime green. Singing the tune for his younger siblings to listen to as he goes along, he ensures that the soap is spread on the top of his hand , bottom and in between his fingers.

Once the soap has changed colour, it is an indication that he has used it for at least 10 seconds. This signals that 99.9% of bacteria that had accumulated on his hand have been killed and that it’s time to wash off the soap.

Family Bonding Over Nature

Dominique Advertorials, Parenting and Kids, Parenting Views, Recommendations family bonding, Lifebuoy

Stepping into nature is something that it is easy for us living in Singapore. There are many different parks at our doorstep and we are simply spoiled for choice. One of our favourite family activities is to bring the kids to the various parks around our island. Many of the parks are located near waterways or even the seaside so one can take in the sights of both land and sea at the park.

This month we visited Labrador park with the kids during the weekend. It has been nearly 3 years since we last visited the park and it was great to let them revisit this park. We played the game ” I Spy” with the kids and went around looking and identifying the various flora and fauna at the park.

The beautiful tiny flowers we saw.

It is really amazing what one can come across during a walk in the park. There are so much to see and so many things to learned. It was like a hands on biology lessons for the kids as we talked about how plants grow and their life cycle.

Mushroom

The mushrooms we spotted

The kids were introduced to fungi when I spotted these mushrooms blooming among the grass. They were intrigued to see them up close and wondered if they were edible. It was a good opportunity to educate them that not all wild grown plants are edible and best not to pluck and digest them when they are unsure.

Tiger girl is still unable to walk too much for long distances so we popped her in a stroller and she enjoyed the sights as we walked along. However she didn’t stay in the stroller for long when she spotted this contraption at the park.

the kids at the playground

Any trip to a park will be incomplete without a round at the playground. You could see the kids eyes light up as they dashed towards the slides. They had one of the highest slides which I have seen at an outdoor playground. The tallest slide was at least as high as a 3rd floor apartment!! Everyone took turns going down the long slide, including the adults, and we had lots of fun.

Do you bond with your kids over nature too?
