How To Make A Paper Germ Craft:
Finding ways to educate your little ones about germs doesn’t have to difficult. While germs can be a pain during the cold and flu months, that doesn’t mean that those germs aren’t good for educational purposes!
How many times has your child asked you a question about sickness and germs, and you wished that you had some sort of visual that you could go over with them? This germ craft for kids is perfect for just that!
Set up a fun educational station for your child to teach them about the importance of staying germ-free. Proper hand washing, sneezing into their elbows, and covering their mouths when they cough are all great ways to fight the germs this season. However, for visual purposes, once they learn how to stay germ-free, it’s time to them have them create this germ craft so that they correlate how germs will form if they don’t properly take care of their body.
They’ll love this germ craft and so will you!
