1. Sprinkle glitter on your little one's hands. "Pretend this is germs." 2. Have them shake your hand. Look — now YOUR hand has glitter too! 3. Touch the table, a toy, the door handle. Glitter gets everywhere. 4. "That's how germs spread! Now let's wash our hands." Sing the ABCs while scrubbing with soap. 5. "Soap breaks up germs just like it washes away the glitter."
