Poop-It Kit

Poop-It Kit™: A resource designed for children to promote healthy bowel behaviour.

Description

Developed by Emeritus Professor Kerry Reid-Searl (AM), the Poop-It Kit™ is designed for health workers and teachers to help young children learn about their bodily well-being. The pilot study was funded by Lions Rockhampton. The pilot participants tested the kit components with children to identify which components best suited the purpose of teaching children to recognize types of feces and what these indicated about their body’s needs.
