Rub-a-dub-dub – encourage grip skills while splashing in the bath
What you need
Water toys
A flannel
What to try
At bath time, give your baby the opportunity to ‘help’ you by letting them grip onto the corner of a flannel. Letting them feel the fabric when it is both dry and wet will enhance the sensory experience for them.
If they are showing interest in playing in the water, give them an easy-to-grip bath toy (plastic teething rings can be ideal for this) or a small sponge to play with.
