Sonas Karrinyup – Taking Care of Ourselves

This week, the children at Sonas learned about the importance of washing our bodies and taking care of them.

We used dolls for this activity as children loved it. As always, we started with a few questions and conversations, like, Do you wash your hands, feet, and hair? Do you take a bath? Do you like it? Why do you wash your body? As we went along with the activity, we talked about germs, getting sick, and how we can prevent them.

This activity is a very effective physical action that boosts their social and emotional wellbeing and enhances their cognition.

The children were able to take turns washing our babies and have conversations in which they felt confident and connected to each other, while simultaneously learning about the importance of hygiene.
