How to try it

Fill a shallow basin with a little warm water and give each child a plastic doll and a washcloth. Pretend to wash faces, tummies and toes, and say what each doll needs next.

Materials

  • Shallow basin
  • Plastic dolls
  • Washcloths
  • Towel

Safety note

Never leave a child alone near water. Use only a couple of inches of lukewarm water and wipe up spills to prevent slips.
