"Please Wash" signs

Babies are irresistible, and people just want to reach out and touch them. At this time of the year, the last thing your baby needs is an infected person's germs. "The biggest danger to babies is other people's hands," says Ken Haller, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

"Please Wash" signs from mytinyhands.com may help. The washable, weatherproof, silicone rubber signs are perfect for your stroller or hanging in your baby's nursery or bathroom as a reminder for both visitors and siblings.

The sign's large text reads "Please wash your hands before touching mine." In bright colors like pink, blue and red, the stop sign shaped sign is hard to miss.

Oohhh I really like the Celly Smelly's. They remind me of a Clorox disinfectant wipe, only for kids! I'm definitely going to be giving my kids a few of these per day to make sure they stay clean and sanitized. I definitely don't want them being exposed to germs and getting sick this year. Thanks!
