These free health and hygiene printables for preschoolers will provide a visual aid in teaching young children how to keep themselves and those around them healthy.
You can project these onto a screen from your computer or print them and show them to children. You could also make a book with them. If using the posters to show a large group of children, I recommend not laminating them because of the glare.

How to Stay Healthy Posters for Children
Keep your hands away from your face: your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Cover your cough and your sneeze.
Wash your hands with soap and water. Make bubbles.
I tell my students to “make bubbles” to make sure they are scrubbing their hands. Young children have a tendency to let the soap run down the drain before actually scrubbing. This way, they learn to scrub their hands so they make bubbles.
Keep things out of your mouth. I’ve been using this poster this week to talk with them about keeping fingers out of their mouth, toys, and supplies such as pencils, markers, etc. We also talk about the toy food: how we pretend to eat it, but we don’t actually let it touch our mouth.
I made this alternate poster just in case you think the picture of food might confuse your children. I think it’s good to talk about the toy food, but I wanted to make this alternate for you to choose.
Stay at home when you are sick.
Of course, it’s not a kid decision to stay at home, but it’s good for them to know that this is a way to keep others healthy, and to get rest when sick.

Thank you for these great resources!
Thank you so much! Just before all of this stuff, we were talking about the importance of keeping our hands clean and sanitary.
Thanks.
These are really needed, especially right now. May God Bless you.
Thank you Karen! I made copies for our teachers at our program. This virus is a scary thing to hear about and I hope for all children and elders are safe. Following safety procedures will help us not get sick.
Thank you!

Thank you for these health posters. They are perfect!
Thanks again Karen FOR YOUR THOUGHTFULLNESS in giving us these Posters.
These could be really useful for my class! They tend to have the opposite problem with handwashing, though. They will wash their hands for seven hours if I let them. We only have one sink, so it gets difficult when 13 kids are waiting to wash hands before lunch! I usually end up having to cut them off!
Thank you for these posters and that you are sharing them with us in such a difficult for all of us time.
