Continued development related to the activity:
Encourage the child to engage in pretend play by setting up a pretend bath area with dolls or stuffed animals. This can help them further develop their vocabulary, sequencing skills, and conversation skills as they take on the role of the caregiver and describe the actions they are performing. Additionally, reading books or singing songs about bath time can further enhance their language skills and make the activity more enjoyable.
