Silly Suds

Toddler Bathtime

Get silly while getting clean! Tell your child, “Let’s wash your hands!” but start washing their feet. What do they do? Then say: “Oh! Those are your feet! Where are your hands?” As they get older, have them lead, using other parts of their body like elbows, wrists, and ankles.

Your child is using their focus to listen to your words and drawing on what they already know to play this silly game with you, which strengthens their memory. They’re also practicing thinking flexibly about opposites, as well as learning new words and what they mean in a fun way!
