SoaPen is a soap-marker tool that is used to teach proper hand-washing.
SoaPen promotes good hand washing practices in school children. An adult uses the pen to draw on a child’s hand before washing and challenges the child to wash away every trace of the pen. The drawing on the child’s hand turns to soap, and washes the child’s hands, lowering risk of infectious illness and teaching proper hand-washing.
