What to Do:
1. Fill the tub with warm water.
2. Add bubble bath as the tub fills.
3. Place your child in the tub and fit goggles over his eyes.
4. Sponge him all over with sponges and washcloths.
5. Shampoo his hair and lather him up with soap.
6. Spray him clean with squirters, just like in the car wash!
7. Towel him off.

Variation: Follow the same procedure in the shower. Your child can go through
the car wash there, too!
Caution: Make sure to keep soap out of your child’s eyes. Also, make sure the water isn’t too hot and watch that he doesn’t slip in the tub. Never leave your
child unattended in the bathtub.
