We started the week reading one of my eldest son's favorites, Mrs. Wishy-Washy's Farm by Joy Cowley, and that just lead us into all things washy, wet, and bubbly. Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion soon followed as did everything in our home library that went with this theme, such as these board books that are appealing to my youngest son: Bathe One Baby by Melanie Joyce, and Bubbles, Bubbles from Sesame Beginnings.

1. Wishy-Washy Game -- My sons loved this! Luckily we had wonderfully warm weather so we could take this activity outside. We set up our toy barn in the yard, got a small, plastic "tub" full of soapy water, and we pretended to be Mrs. Wishy-Washy and gave all our farm animals a good old scrub. This of course, led to all things getting in the tub -- toy tractors, cars, trucks, dog toys, etc.




Of course by the end of this, we all needed a good scrub ourselves!
