Healthy Hands Review & Giveaway

I am constantly having to get onto the boys about washing their hands and actually doing it for more than two seconds and using soap when they do. No matter how many times you try to explain to them about all the gross stuff that their hands touch and that ends up in their mouth after touching food or just their face...they could care less.

Well, a company called Healthy Hands wants to help and change all that. They have come up with little flexible toppers that attach to your liquid soap dispenser. When your kids push down on the dispenser to get the soap out, it lights up and plays music for 20 seconds. This is to teach them how long they need to wash for, in order to really get rid of all the yuck that is on their hands. (Yes, "all the yuck" was a total mom statement, I'm fully aware).

I was sent the Cars topper that plays "Real Gone" from the movie Cars and the Little Mermaid topper that plays "Under the Sea" from the movie The Little Mermaid. I put the Cars one on without telling the kids and just waited to see how long it would take them to discover it (also a clever way for me to know just how many times they were going to go to the bathroom and not wash their hands...gross, but true). Well, they noticed it pretty much right away and once one saw it, he called the other two in to check it out. Oh, how I love to hear the sound of "Real Gone" drifting out through the bathroom door. Really, are my children actually washing their hands? Yes, it's true, they are!

Don't tell him I told you, but I catch Brian walking around humming the song. Ha ha, my plan worked, all the boys are hooked!!! In all honesty though, I do know that they boys are washing their hands more frequently than they used to. I often hear the door open and them walk out while the song is still playing, so they aren't spending as much time as they should be washing, but right now I'm happy with the improvement that has taken place. Asher though, that kid loves it. I thought the novelty would wear off, but it's been on there for a couple of weeks and that kid stands there and washes the whole time the song is playing before he rinses his hands off. That's good stuff right there.

My niece was here a couple weekends ago and she got a serious kick out of it too, so I am going to give her the Little Mermaid one for her birthday because I know she will love it.

So, do I think Healthy Hands are a product worth buying? ABSOLUTELY? Seriously, if 3 boys washing their hands regularly isn't enough of a testimony to that, then I don't know what you want. Did I mention they're only $3.99 each too? Can't beat that, now can you?
