I can’t believe I’m writing this but it’s almost time for Back to School….well, for some of you. Here in Connecticut we don’t go back until the very end of August, but I know many will be back in school in just a few short weeks! With back to school comes lots and lots of exposure to germs- and like it or not, no person is exempt from those germs. Kleenex has started a really fun and “hip” new campaign called Kleenex Shield. Sneeze. Swish.which is a three-step routine that was developed to teach kids how to keep stuff off of their hands so parents can feel confident when they head back-to-school. They’ve even included the beloved holiday-time folks over at Elf Yourself in the campaign!
When it comes time to sneeze, it’s important to have Kleenex brand facial tissues with Sneeze Shield, a proprietary process of coating applied to the tissues that helps keep stuff off of hands and in the tissue. It’s easy for Mom to feel confident that her kids can use Sneeze Shield wherever they go with Kleenex brand’s convenient package shapes and sizes, including:
- The Slim Pack. It is thin and sleek, so you can always keep a tissue on hand. Their trendy design makes it the perfect accessory for hip tweens and teens, while their convenient size makes it easy to slide them into pockets, back packs and bags.
- The Car Wedge. It fits perfectly in the car door or glove compartment – no need to lug around a box of tissue or fumble in a purse for a tissue while driving.
- The Go Pack. Strong, soft and absorbent, Kleenex brand go packs have been there for happy tears and stuffy noses since 1924.
So let’s all learn the Shield. Sneeze. Swish.!
- Shield your kids with Kleenex brand’s unique Sneeze Shield tissues
- Sneeze when you gotta!
- Swish that Kleenex tissue right into the waste basket (two points!)

Start a week before school getting the morning routine down so that the kids aren’t tired and cranky their first week of school and you’ll get the routine down too for making sure they are dressed and have lunches and whatnot.
Start the year off right by having regular family dinners to talk about what they learned that day, their interactions with peers, etc.
