Every once in a while, an idea comes along that is so simple, yet solves a complex problem. And sometimes, that idea is so creative and fun, you have to wonder why it hasn’t happened before.
At Trade Winds Imports, hygiene is extremely important to us. Proper hand washing, especially, reduces the spread of germs and averts illness, particularly in our children. We even published a very popular infographic a couple years ago that highlighted the impact of hand washing on our healthy (or as the case may be, ‘unhealthy’) lives. By the way, if you haven’t seen the infographic, we recommend you take a look. It offers some super fascinating and valuable data on the importance of washing our hands!
Needless to say, we were delighted when we discovered SquidSoap. Take a look:
This clever soap dispenser teaches kids the importance of washing their hands properly and enforces good hand washing practices through an ingenious and fun mechanism: the soap plunger features a marker on top that leaves a small ink spot on your hands when you pump the soap out into your palms. The ink is designed to wash off in water after about 20 seconds of thorough scrubbing. Essentially, SquidSoap turns something as mundane as “washing your hands” into a delightful game of “rinse off the spot,” both engaging and educating your children.
If that’s not enough to get your kids excited about soap, the SquidSoap dispenser also comes with a stretchable, float-able, waterproof squid toy that will keep kids laughing at bath time or any time. If your bathroom is kept to a very specific theme, don’t worry: the bright orange Squid toy is removable and will leave behind just an elegantly shaped soap dispenser with an unassuming small black marker ring on top.
We love this product, and we think you will too! People are already raving about it. Take Pat, from Cincinnati, for example:
“The kids just love this product. It is in our daycare and the kids are making excuses to go and wash their hands more often.”
Indeed, training tomorrow’s healthy, happy, and hygienic hand washers has never been easier or more charming.
One last thing to check out: this is SquidSoap’s promotional video. It is completely adorable and you should watch it. So click “play”!
