Bath Time
We found a new product that our kids love—Huggies Toddler Wash Mitts. They are made of a soft material and contain a mild soap. They make it really easy for the girls to wash themselves in the bath, and the mitts also makes bath time fun for them. (They use them for puppet shows.) The mitts are disposable, and so work great for taking on vacations.
If you are unable to find them locally, they are available at Amazon.com.
