Computers are amazing helpers, and helpers need care! 💛 Let’s learn the golden rules that keep your computer — and YOU — safe and happy.
🪜 Step by step
1. 🍪 No snacks near the computer
Crumbs and spills can break keyboards. Eat your snack first, then wash your hands!

Tap keys softly and never bang the screen. Carry laptops with two hands.

Always ask a grown-up before going online, downloading a game or clicking something new.
