Germs are very small and we cannot see them. Throughout each day, children touch and encounter many, many things - toys, playground equipment, dirt, grocery carts, door handles, diapers, toilets, other children. Young children experience the world with their whole body, not just their hands. Children expose their hands, arms, legs, feet, face, hair, and clothing to dirt and germs throughout the day. Washing our bodies is the best way to keep germs from spreading. Many people focus on washing their hands, but, for young children, washing their bodies is equally important.

We should wash our hands frequently throughout the day to remove germs so that we do not get sick or make others sick. We should also wash our bodies daily to remove germs and dirt from our body. When we remove germs and dirt from our bodies with soap and water, the germs cannot make us sick.
