WHY KIDS LOVE
Circles + Scissors
Just think, by simply washing hands correctly, we can significantly reduce the spread of sickness. When our kids become confident, independent handwashers then our schools, homes and communities become healthier + happier. Circles + Scissors Handwashing curriculum is uniquely designed for kids but is certainly for everyone!
Check out these 3 unique aspects listed below:
1. Fun in the PROCESS
Circles + Scissors curriculum presents handwashing in a positive way!
The most effective way to motivate kids to wash up is with fun! Fear of germs and sickness will only motivate children for as long as they feel scared.
Positive language engages them to, "Have more fun...wash your hands!" Explaining to children that when they have clean hands and remain healthy, they get to do the things they love, like play soccer or attend a friend's birthday party.
Clean hands means more fun!
2. Kid-friendly DESIGN
Circles + Scissors images are made with non-readers in mind!
Most beginner handwashers are non-readers. All designs are cut from paper, giving them a playful look that children can easily identify.
Simple symbols and colors cue children towards proper handwashing technique. And you guessed it, the Circles + Scissors logo is made to look like a reverse "Hugs + Kisses."
3. Check List to Success
Each of the 5 Steps of Circles + Scissors cues the washer on a specific area of the hand.
Children want to wash the right way but are often disappointed when an adult tells them to wash again!
How frustrating!
Giving children a simple checklist to wash hands by, gives them the confidence to know their hands are clean and builds independent hand washers for a lifetime.
To Sum it up...
Circles + Scissors Handwashing is the most fun and effective method to teach kiddos the RIGHT WAY to wash hands. The method is in the name! Teach them Circles + Scissors and they'll have the tools they need for clean hands every time. Kids can't resist washing hands with soap when it's this fun!
The 5 Steps instruct handwashers on EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, ensure that they WASH WITH SOAP for the appropriate amount of time and are FUN!

Momma on a mission
Jenny Middleton Iverstine + BleuBoy
“Clean hands every wash!” was my focus in creating Circles + Scissors Handwashing. With toddler booger fingers everywhere, our family was trying to find the best way to remember proper hand hygiene and Happy Birthday for 20 seconds just wasn’t cutting it.
After washing in our home with Circles + Scissors for over 6 years, it was time to share this good, clean fun. I created a curriculum and started teaching in schools in 2018. Teachers and students loved it and I loved teaching it!
With a new GOAL of ONE MILLION pairs of clean hands, I knew that I had to do more than teach in schools. After listening to parents and teachers, their request was loud and clear, “Please make a book!”
With no experience in publishing but with a world of passion, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work! My hobby of paper-cutting cards came to the rescue for illustrating and as a story-line, I used a real-life event about my daughter missing her bff’s birthday party due to illness.
15 months later, the Circles + Scissors Handwashing board book was born! I truly believe that this is the best resource for teaching the Circles + Scissors method quickly and it’s FUN!
This handwashing movement is just getting started (though it's already in 17 US states and 4 countries!)
I hope you'll join the fun today as we take care of each other with clean hands!
Let’s BUBBLE!
OX,
Jenny
