Spooky Soap lets you decorate bars of soap to help entertain your kids when they're washing their hands. Use a picture of a scary spider, a wicked witch, or a ghastly ghost—any image will do. And then teach your kids to Say "Boo!" to the Flu!

When using Spooky Soap:
  1. Teach your kids to wash their hands frequently.
  2. Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds—the time it takes to sing The Happy Birthday Song twice.
  3. Remind your kids to wash their hands at school too.
Spooky Soap goes hand-in-hand with the Handwashing Reward Chart.
