With self-isolation underway, Nickelodeon has pulled together a Survival Guide to keep the kids busy and to stop parents from pulling their hair out.
We’ve launched #KidsTogether, a multiplatform, global prosocial initiative to help kids and families stay safe and keep busy at home! Nickelodeon’s popular characters and talent, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Blue’s Clues & You!, Henry Danger, and Bubble Guppies, are doing their part to help educate kids on how to practice social distancing and demonstrate proper hand-washing techniques.
We’ve also compiled plenty of fun activities to do together at home.

Parents – perhaps SpongeBob SquarePants will encourage kids to regularly wash their hands without the constant reminders!
