The Ugly Bugs are returning to help keep children stay well this Summer, and children across 香港六合彩资料图库 are invited to design their very own!
The bugs feature in a free fun activity pack to help remind children to keep washing their hands.
There鈥檚 an opportunity to design your own ugly bug. Send your ideas to us and your ugly bug could be featured in the County Council鈥檚 online gallery across their social media channels or in the 2024 winter campaign.
The Wash Your Hands The Cool Way, Summer Activity Pack features a wordsearch, our 鈥淕et to the Beach鈥 game, ugly bugs to cut out and colour in.
Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water often during the day, then drying them properly is one of the best ways to keep you and your family safe from infectious diseases.
While alcohol or antibacterial hand sanitisers are convenient, what most people don鈥檛 know is that they are not an effective protection against the common sickness bug, norovirus.
Councillor Karen May, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Health and Wellbeing at 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council said: 鈥淓very now and again we all need a little reminder to keep washing our hands well and frequently. In the busyness of life, it鈥檚 easy to walk away from the sink before we have rubbed our hands for at least 20 seconds. Good handwashing is one of the most important steps we can all take to avoid becoming ill and spreading germs to others.
Holidays are always fun family times, but keeping children busy throughout the week can take quite a bit of planning. The games and drawings in our Summer Activity Pack are a great way to have fun whilst teaching children about good hygiene.鈥
You can download the 鈥淯gly Bugs Activity Pack鈥 for children to draw and colour on the Safe Hands pages of the County Council website.
Anyone can also download Handwashing toolkits for Early Years settings and Primary Schools from there too.
