Free Lysol Healthy Habits For Kids Activity Booklets

kids playgroundGet free downloadable (or mailed to you) activity booklets that teach kids how to wash their hands and avoid germs, eat properly, brush their teeth and stay safe.  These booklets have puzzles and games to make it fun for kids to learn, plus a cute dog mascot named Scrubs.  The booklets are offered by the makers of Lysol in conjunction with the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP).

Sounds logical that the Lysol folks want to teach us how to avoid germs.  And with flu and H1N1 a big concern now, especially in schools, this is timely advice.  It’s sound, basic stuff like telling kids to wash their hands after sneezing and before eating.  The free publications don’t push Lysol products; they seem pretty objective and it helps to have a respected nurses’ organization involved.
