How mum uses Lego to get kids to wash hands

The woman has gone viral for revealing the quirky way she gets her kids to wash — but not everyone is convinced by her method.

Getting your kids to wash their hands has always been important, but never more so than during the Covid pandemic.

So, to encourage her offspring to wash regularly, one mum has come up with a genius hack – involving Lego blocks, The Sun reports.

Taking to TikTok, @washy_wash shared a video showing a bottle of handwash, into which she placed three Lego blocks.

“Let’s motivate your kids to wash their hands. I’ve mixed two hand washes and added Lego,” she explained.

“Once they finish the soap, they can collect all the Lego cubes.”

The clip showed brightly coloured blue soap mixed with white, and several Lego blocks of differing sizes and colours added in.

“This is a very very good idea!!” one person commented on the video, while another added: “That’s an amazing idea babe.”

“So cute! I don't even have kids,” someone else wrote.

But others weren’t so sure it would work with their kids, suggesting the hack would see their children use up all the soap in one go.

“I’m pretttyyy sure kids would just dunk it out and pretend they used it,” one mum wrote.

“My kids would simply use all the soap at once for a single wash,” someone else commented, to which the original poster replied: “Mine are enjoying it.”

“How to encourage kids to use 20 pumps per a hand wash or simply dump it out,” another person wrote.
