BATHTIME

Books:   

Max's bath by Rosemary Wells

Harry, the dirty dog by Gene Zion

King Bidgood's in the bathtub by Audrey Wood

Activities: 

Rub a Dub Dub

Rub a dub, dub

Three men in a tub                       Hold up three fingers

And who do you think they be?               

The butcher, the baker               Point to each finger in turn

The candlestick maker. 

Give them a bath, all three.         Rub fingers quickly

Baby's Bath

Baby's ready for his bath.            

Here's the baby's tub                    Make circle with arms

Here's the baby's washcloth          Hold hand up, palm flat          

See how he can rub.                     Pretend to rub face     

Here's the baby's cake of soap     Hold hand flat, thumb touching

And here's the towel dry,           

And here's the baby's cradle         Make imaginary cradle and rock it back and forth

Rock-a-baby-bye            

After a Bath

Suit actions to words

After my bath, I try, try, try

To wipe myself 'til I'm dry, dry, dry.

Hands to wipe, and fingers and toes,

And two wet legs and a shiny nose.

Just think how much less time I'd take

If I were a dog, and could shake, shake, shake!
