The COVID-19 continues to be a health threat around the world. Governments, communities and individuals are looking for ways to teach children how to protect themselves. 1 They might want to follow the advice of imaginative creatures that are adorable, colorful and furry!
Muppets(提线木偶)are puppets from the children's show Sesame Street created by Sesame Workshop. Sesame Workshop started a campaign called Caring for Each Other. 2 The project includes messages for children and caregivers. It offers reading, math and science activities along with songs and fun, educational videos.
Elmo, Grover and other Sesame Street Muppets star in new public service advertisements (PSAs)from the Sesame Workshop. These PSAs teach children about the importance of hand washing and safe ways to sneeze, limiting the spread of germs. 3
Elmo is probably one of the most famous Muppets. He is known for a video of a song about brushing teeth called "Brushy Brush". He reminds children to wash between the fingers and the tops of the hands. 4 This silly blue Muppet teaches children how to safely cough and sneeze. He even uses a checklist that includes breakfast, brushing his teeth and exercise.
5 A set of things children normally do can help them stay healthy. Even though things may be a little different right now, health experts recommend having a regular procedure every day while isolated(隔离). By doing so, parents and caregivers can give their children and themselves a sense of stability in this new normal.
