Ever wondered if Mom knew what she was talking about when she told you to “wash your hands?” Wonder no more... Glitter Bug Lotion is sure to cure any doubt about the necessity of washing your hands. Squirt a little of the lotion on your hands and then wash your hands. Break out the black light and discover all the "germs" you missed. You won’t believe your eyes when you see everywhere Glitter Bug still resides! This germ simulator lotion reacts under the black light to show you where the Glitter Bug Lotion didn't get washed off. Recommended for children ages 6 and up. Each bottle contains enough lotion for over 200 uses.

What's included?

  • 240 mL bottle of Glitter Bug Lotion

What does it teach?

Help children understand the importance of hand-washing and proper hand-washing technique. The specially formulated Glitter Bug Lotion appears under black light and shows areas where hands weren’t throughly washed and how rapidly germs can spread from one child to another. Glitter Bug Lotion is a must-have product for every classroom, home or even workplace!

This would be a great experiment for my kid's teacher to do in class since everything that comes home now day is talking about the spread of the Swine Flu. Good way for kids to see how germs are easily spread.
