Hand Washing is Important for Kids

Pepto Hand WashingIt may seem like a no-brainer to teach kids why hand washing is so important for good health. While kids likely know that they should wash their hands, a lot of times they get caught up in what they are doing at the time or playing that they don’t want to make the time to do it. Kids are usually in a hurry to get back to their friends or toys!

Hand washing is important for kids, especially after using the bathroom and before eating a meal, to make sure they are not spreading germs. Make sure to download the coloring sheet and activity sheets below as a reminder to kids to wash their hands. If you are looking to help them develop a habit of it, get this behavior tracking sheet that we featured on a previous blog this week to promote hand washing. It’s a fun way for the kids to “want” to wash their hands if they get to mark it off on the chart each time. Try it out … you may develop some pretty eager hand washers!

Scary Food

Hello fellow OrganWise Guys Club Members,

We’ve all heard the expression “don’t play with your food,” but yesterday, I just couldn’t help myself. You see, with all this Halloween talk I have scarecrows, ghosts, and witches on my brain. I sat down for lunch yesterday, looked down on my plate, and I just saw it … I had all the right shapes to make a scarecrow out of my food! I had carrot legs, broccoli arms, and enough corn that I could shape it into the body. And then for the head, I used a baby tomato from my salad, and used the ‘greens’ to make grass. My veggie scarecrow was very scary and also very delicious. Check out this “scary” coloring sheet and activity sheet!

Grillin' Out

Hello fellow OrganWise Guys Club Members!

It’s National Grilling Month, but if you ask me, it’s more like Grilling Season. I’m lucky because my dad loves to grill. In the past two weeks, we’ve had delicious grilled chicken, crispy grilled fish, and amazing turkey burgers for dinner. Oh, and grilling isn’t just for meat! Yesterday, we had vegetable kabobs. I even helped my mom put all the onions, peppers, squash, and zucchini on the sticks, I mean, skewers! (I just learned that the sticks that the vegetables were cooking on are called skewers.) Looks like this summer, I’m feeding my body with delicious grilled food, and my mind with new fun facts! Don’t forget to get your coloring sheet for today!OWG_Blog_Art_7-14-14
