Coronavirus Kent: Remind your children about the importance of handwashing with our downloadable poster

Go in, coats and shoes off and wash your hands! If these are becoming familiar words in your house then we've got an added little reminder to help you out - whilst also giving the children a little activity to enjoy.

We've designed a super poster that reminds everyone in your household about the importance of washing their hands if they've been outside - perhaps to the shops or for a walk.

Hand-washing is an important measure everyone can take

It's downloadable, can be printed out, and is something the children can then decorate or colour in however they want.

Perhaps you'd like to stick one up in your hallway, on the cupboard where you might keep any coats and shoes, or on the door to the bathroom or toilet and sink.

The children could even decorate one for a friend or grandparent you aren't seeing much of at the moment and pop it through their door to cheer them up!

We'd also really like to see your finished posters.

If your children have downloaded and printed a poster and coloured and decorated it then we'd really like to see their efforts that we could perhaps display in an online picture gallery and print in the paper.

You can send pictures of your posters via email to mykentfamily@thekmgroup.co.uk

And for anyone who wants to remind their children about how best to wash their hands - there's an excellent song and video from the NHS available online. Watch that below:
