These toy soap creations were made to help encourage children in South Africa to wash their hands more. The idea is to place little toys within the colorful bars of soap so that the children will want to obtain their prize by getting through the whole bar of soap.
Created by Y&R Zambia, The Safety Lab, Dare to Share and 'Blikkiesdorp4Hope,' these bars of soap will surely make a difference. Keeping good hygiene is very important as it is, but with children it's even more vital as their immune systems have yet to develop enough to fight off the many different germs. A toy soap bar is a brilliant way to get these kids to be inspired about washing their hands.
