There are plenty of ways in which parents can prepare their kids for the tradition of the back-to-school flu. The government’s health website recommends that parents keep their children up-to-date with their vaccines and ensure that their children are kept warm as the temperatures begin to drop. But, especially in the wake of COVID, there’s another easy and affordable way you can keep your kids from catching that inevitable flu once they’re back in the classroom.

Good hand hygiene is imperative for avoiding picking up nasty bacteria, which is unfortunately common in schools and playgrounds. The best way to ensure hands are as clean as they can be after break time is with an effective hand sanitiser. And thanks to this £10 Amazon buy, there’s a convenient and fun way kids can carry sanitiser with them all through the school day.

Swans&Sam Hand Sanitiser Plastic Refillable 6 Bottles

Obviously, carrying a full bottle of hand sanitiser isn’t necessarily practical, so a dispenser with an easy attachment that can be clipped onto the straps of your kids’ backpacks ensures your child can easily remember to use and reach their hand sanitiser before eating their packed lunch or after they’ve finished break time outside. And there’s no reason why hand sanitiser has to be boring, or take away from your kid’s chosen backpack.

This 6-pack on Amazon features multiple brightly coloured refillable sanitiser dispensers with fun and creative designs that are sure to appeal to kids. Options include bold cartoon fruit, birds, or a beloved Disney character.

The six empty plastic bottles have screw-on, flip-cap tops that ensure they’re simple to fill and can be easily opened and used, even by small hands. With a 30ml capacity that’s perfect for use throughout a full day at school, these travel-sized bottles are made from flexible plastic that can be squeezed for easy dispensing when on the go.

With recognisable colours that stand out and add a pop of vibrancy to a school uniform, the multiple designs help easily identify the bottles. This six-pack is ideal for a single or multiple children to use.

Super lightweight and convenient, these bottles can be filled with your preferred, child-safe hand sanitiser and attached to your child’s bag, so you can rest easy knowing they’re protected from bugs and bacteria while at school. Plus, they’re super affordable thanks to their £11 price tag.

One thrilled shopper who picked up this pack says: “I often work on the peads unit the kids think these are great and the staff I gifted them to love them too. They are a silicone wrap over the refillable plastic bottle. The designs colour and price are all great cannot fault at all.”

More love comes from this buyer who beams: “This was really useful for me and colleagues as we work at school. It is really useful every time you need to disinfect your hands and you can’t go and wash them. I am very proud of my purchase.”
