June 6, 2008, Newsletter Issue #263: Cutting Down on Playdough Germs

Tip of the Week

I care for several toddlers plus my own two. I am always trying to find ways to keep the kidīs germsī to themselves. Other than constantly washing hands, using
kleenex, and covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing, I label a ziploc baggie with each childīs name (permanent marker) and they each get a portion of
the homemade playdough. This is their playdough, and though sharing sometimes happens, this helps to keep them from spreading their germs from their hands
into a "community" pot of playdough.
