The Benefits of Children Drinking Water at School
Children need to drink at least 3-4 glasses of water per day whilst at school and even more when exercising in warm weather. Schools and governments now insist on children drinking more water.


Koolbabe will encourage children to continue drinking water at home, during school holidays and at weekends.
