Nose-blowing!

Can anyone tell me how on earth you teach a child how to blow their nose? Neither of mine can do it and every time they get a cold or cough it's made a lot worse 'cos they can't clear their nose! Hubby and I have tried tips like:'Imagine you're a dragon and blow the fire out' or 'Snort like a horse! etc. but nothing works. My eldest is really suffering at the mo and this is proving very frustrating for both of us!

not tried this one myself but i have been told to get them to try and blow a recorder with their nose.

messy but apparently works!

Thanks - her recorder is green anyway so we'll give it a go!
