HappyMaz Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 As a birthday treat we went to our local pound shop (we know how to live life to the full here in Maidenhead!) Anyway we came across 'squid soap' (there's a foamy/rubbery squid which fits over the soap dispenser) which claims to teach children how to wash their hands properly. In the lid of the pump there's a small circle of dye which when the child pushes it down, stains their palm. So you know whether children have washed their hands properly (takes about 15-20 seconds) because the little red dot will have disappeared. I just went to throw the box away and noticed there was a website where you can sign up to be part of their testing panel and get free products. I had a quick look and found that this soap costs £3.99 usually. You can click here to have a look at the soap, but I was wondering if anyone is using this in their settings and if so, how the children have responded? Maz
Guest Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 This sounds such a great idea Maz! Thanks for sharing, it seems very similar to what our school nurse does with our Foundation children underneath a UV light. Would be fab to use this soap in school to reinforce her session.... Tinky
Verona Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks - sounds very good. I have just joined their samplingpanel!! Sue J

Guest Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Which pound shop was it? If its a chain one with branches around the country we all might be able to get it at that bargain price
HappyMaz Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Which pound shop was it? If its a chain one with branches around the country we all might be able to get it at that bargain price Poundland - sorry. Should have said that!

belle06 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks for that have just been to our local pound world and cleared the 10 off the shelf ready to distribute on Monday
MrsWeasley Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Poundland - sorry. Should have said that! Well she shouldn't have said Poundland.. cause it was the 99p store!
HappyMaz Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Well she shouldn't have said Poundland.. cause it was the 99p store! Do you know she's right - just checked my receipt! So that's even more of a bargain then!
MrsWeasley Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Do you know she's right - just checked my receipt! So that's even more of a bargain then! Exactly - It's like buy 9 get 1 free!
HappyMaz Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Exactly - It's like buy 9 get 1 free! So clever! And I see you've changed your signature and now I have something in common with Harry S Truman so I'm happy!
Guest Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 My neice lives with me, and this was the only way I could get her to wash her hands I have to admit I use it too.. But I'll have to get down to the 99p store instead of buying it for £4!! BlueBelle
Cait Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I bet it's all gone by the time I get to town on Saturday!
