According to a study conducted by Wet Ones Hand Wipes, 91% of moms say they have stopped their child from participating in an activity because it was too messy. To help parents embrace the mess this back-to-school season, the brand has partnered with Siri Daly to bring the fun back into the kitchen because Wet Ones hand wipes are there to help clean up hands before and after the mess!

“As a mother and food blogger, I love cooking with my children, but sometimes I feel like I miss out on great moments with them because I’m so concerned with cleaning as I go,” says Siri Daly. “Even getting my kids to wash their hands after making a mess is a struggle! Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes are a convenient 2-in-1 way to wipe away dirt and messes when soap and water aren’t readily available.”

“We know that while the majority of moms, like Siri, try to avoid messy moments, 84% of moms also admit that making a mess while cooking is one of the most fun activities they can do with their kids,” says Christina Saikus, Wet Ones brand manager, Edgewell Personal Care. “We want to encourage parents to embrace family memories by letting their little ones help make messy PB&Js for their lunchbox and sloppy joes for family dinners – because with Wet Ones hand wipes you’re always covered!”

To celebrate messy moments this back-to-school season, Wet Ones Hand Wipes is launching a contest to search for the messiest kids in America. To participate, parents must take a picture of their child age 2 to 17 years old at their messiest and post it to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #WishIHadaWetOnes & #contest.
