Why is Proper Hygiene Important for Kids?

Good personal, dental, and food hygiene habits can go a long way in safeguarding your child’s health and boosting their immunity. That said, it takes patience, practice, and constant reminders to develop good hygiene habits in kids. At Wimbledon Nursery School we understand the importance of good hygiene. We teach children to follow good hygiene practices to prevent them from getting sick and spreading germs that may get others sick.

Children are far more likely to ‘learn by doing’. Teaching them personal hygiene skills using fun hygiene activities for kids will help them understand the science behind cleanliness. Keep reading to learn more.

The Importance of Hygiene for Kids Attending Wimbledon Nursery Schools

The importance of hygiene for kids cannot be overestimated. Children are notorious for touching everything and then putting their fingers in their mouths – yuk! Cultivating healthy hygiene habits at an early age will teach them how they can keep themselves (and others) healthy.

Fun and Engaging Hygiene Activities for Kids

Fun hygiene activities for kids can help children understand the tricky concept of hygiene and help them understand more about germs. Here are some fun hygiene-related activities you can do with your little one.

Activities for Food Hygiene for Kids

Grocery shopping assistant: What kid doesn’t love to be a “helper”? For example, have them help check expiration dates, check for cracked eggs in a carton, and help look for fruit and vegetables that are fresh and undamaged.

Get your child involved in the kitchen: This is one of the best ways for your child to get hands-on knowledge about food hygiene and safety.

Activities for Personal Hygiene for Kids

Learn how germs spread: Kids are sure to love rubbing sparkly glitter over their hands and watching their glitter germs spread as they shake hands with other students. This is a visually compelling way to teach personal hygiene for kids. This activity will teach them the  importance of maintaining clean hands throughout the day.

Hand-washing game: Find some fun songs online that teach kids to wash their hands properly and guide them through each of the handwashing steps.

Activities for Dental Hygiene for Kids

Tooth and toothbrush collage: Have your child cut out toothbrushes and teeth to make a collage that they can put on the wall at home to remind them to brush their teeth. This will help promote good dental hygiene for kids.

Learn how to brush teeth: With something as simple as a laminated printout of a tooth, students can use real toothpaste and toothbrushes to practice their circular brushing motions.

Choosing a Wimbledon Nursery School can be an overwhelming task. But you don’t need to look any further than Wimbledon Day Nursery. We provide the best day care for nursery-age children, with the best staff and facilities in the area.
