Hapee Kiddie together with Renowned Puppeteer Wanlu Teaches Kids on Proper Brushing in School Caravan

By


Having dental caries, more commonly known as cavities, is one of the top public health concerns of not just adults, but kids too. According to the Department of Health, 92.4% of Filipinos have them. What is more alarming is that 97% of Filipino children suffer from cavities too.

Students who suffer from cavities aren't only experiencing pain and discomfort, but may also perform badly in school. Toothaches, developed because of the buildup of cavities, is the most common cause of absenteeism among school children.


Popular ventriloquist/puppeteer Wanlu brought out Nicolo, one of his famous puppets, for the Choose to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie caravan tour.


Brushing our teeth has become such a usual part of everyone’s daily routine that we often forget the importance of doing it properly. Like most things, it’s better to do them right as young as possible. That is why Hapee Kiddie launched their Choose to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie school caravan with the goal of teaching our kids how to properly brush their teeth. With the tour’s unique and informative approach to teaching oral care, it showed the children that brush time need not be as dull.



Wanlu is accompanied by Hapee, as they talk about the importance of brushing their teeth.

One creative way of educating children about their oral care is through a puppet show, led by renowned ventriloquist, Wanlu and his trusty puppets, Nicolo and Hapee, where they further educated the students with their witty yet informative banter.

Schoolchildren participate in the engaging activities of the school caravan by signaling two when asked for how many minutes they should brush their teeth.
“Every moment in the caravan was memorable to me. The kids even hugged the puppets after the show, especially happy. I think puppeteering really is a more creative and effective way of communicating with the children. In fact, you can see in the faces of the children that they really understand what’s happening and what the puppet is talking about because they react to what the puppet tells them,” shared Wanlu, who recently won the Ventriloquist of the Year in Asia awarded by the US-based International Ventriloquist Association.

Kids were taught how to properly brush their teeth through fun demonstrations. Through the Hapee Kiddie Toothy Tale videos, they learned to brush three times a day using a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and then brush for two minutes with circular motions. They then tested their newly-acquired knowledge with engaging games, where they were able to nab prizes!

Choose to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie school caravan, tours all across Metro Manila, bringing joy and spreading happiness to nearly 4,000 young kids aged 5 to 7 years old in 15 public and private schools.

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
