I came up with this little activity after we played with the goop (previous post). My daughter did not want to stop playing, so the only way I could convince her to wash her hands was by making it fun!
You need:
- bathtub
- baby bathtub/ plastic box
- warm water
- toys (stacking cups/ funnels/ utensils/ bath toys)
- to not care about your toddler getting wet, cause she/he will!
I took my daughter, craft apron and all, and set her in the actual bathtub. Then I set the plastic litter box I had but never used (dollar store) in front of her, and put warm water and some stacking cups in it. She didn't protest getting her hands washed this way. You can either let your toddler play for a minute or two and then take them out (they will probably stay dry for this long). The longer you leave them to play, the more excited they'll get and will splash themselves with lots of water! I let her play in there for a good 15 minutes, and she had a great time (and soaking clothes). Oh, and if you use cups for them to play with, always monitor they don't actually drink any of the water.
