Bathe Your Toddler in a Full Size Tub

1. Fill the full size tub with two caps full of the toddler hair and body wash and six inches of water. Use moderate temperature water so as no to burn your toddler when he gets in the tub.
2. Place the toddler faucet cover over the full size tub's faucet. This will protect your toddler from hitting his head on it during the bath.
3. Place your toddler in the full size tub and give him the assortment of bath toys to play with.
4. Soap up the washcloth with the toddler hair and body wash. Kneel beside the full size tub and wash your toddler as he plays with the toys in the full size tub.
5. Place a pea size amount of the toddler hair and body wash on your toddler's hair and wash it. Use the plastic pitcher filled with warm clean water to rinse your toddler's hair.
6. Allow your toddler to play for up to 15 minutes or so. Have your toddler stand in the full size tub and use the plastic pitcher filled with warm clean water to rinse him off.

Tips & Warnings

• Splash back and forth with your toddler when he is in the full size tub. This will get him used to getting his face wet.
• Do not leave your toddler unattended in a full size tub. A toddler can drown in only an inch of water.
