After spending way too much money at the mall today, I just HAD to pick up these great little "Lunch Box" hand sanitizers at Bath & Body Works! I am all about keeping those germs away, and I have a feeling my first graders will be more than happy to keep the germs away too--because these miniature hand gels can make their hands smell like delicious treats! Each day, my two class helpers are responsible for giving everyone in the class a squirt of hand sanitizer right before lining up for lunch and snack! I've tried scented hand gel before--and I found out that my little friends who would always avoid getting the plain old Germ X would be happy to grab some of the "fancy smelling" kind! As an added bonus, your room smells good after everyone gets their hand gel! Today I bought "Marshmallow Treat", "Juice Box", "PB & J", and "Bag of Grapes"!
Guess I should get some supper! I saw your heading and thought food and stomach started growling lol. Great idea!! Wish we could use those but school policy is very restrictive in that regard- must be on their approved list of "chemicals and cleaners"

Randi--yes! They are on sale right now--5 for $5.00!
ReplyDeleteLove Bath and Body Works. I usually purchase the hand soaps when they are on sale. I find that my kids are more apt to wash their hands with the good smelling soap. The added bonus is that the classroom smells good too. I'll have to look for these new treats.

I'm going to get some tomorrow!! You could use them as incentives, too. I use "smellies" (flavored lip balms) on the back of their hands as rewards/incentives. They love to smell their hands after I've swiped some "cotton candy" on them. :o)

YUM! I always hate that alcohol smell from germ-x. I wish I could use these....but our district banned hand sanitizers with alcohol. We can only use the alcohol free versions. I may just go pick some up for my germaphobe hubby, however!
