SIDEBAR: CHILDREN CAN SING WAY TO CLEAN HANDS
MANHATTAN -- After playtime, before snacks and throughout the day, tiny voices warbling &1xbet best casino website ;Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star&1xbet best casino website ; shower the air around Hoeflin Stone House Early Childhood Education Center on the Kansas State University campus.
Teachers at the center are stern about hand washing. To prevent the quick-dip-and-run method, children soap up and sing &1xbet best casino website ;Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star&1xbet best casino website ; or the alphabet song.
When the song is over, they may rinse, dry on a paper towel and run. It takes 20 seconds.
That's the rule for proper hand washing: 20 seconds.
The proper hand washing steps are:
* Wet hands in warm water.
* Scrub with soap and water for 20 seconds.
* Rinse well with warm water.
* Air dry or dry with single-use towels.
K-State early childhood education teachers say the singing part is the most fun. They also say that the &1xbet best casino website ;Happy Birthday&1xbet best casino website ; song can be substituted for &1xbet best casino website ;Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.&1xbet best casino website ;
