Early bath

* Gather a variety of items for bath time, such as a face cloth, sponge, bath scrunchy, bar of soap, soft hair brush, toothbrush, nail brush, shower cap, a few bath toys and a toilet bag.

* Take the soap and cut off some long strips (ensure they are long enough to avoid any choking hazard - if you are still concerned, place the soap strips into a small net bag used for washing tablets).

* Place some of the items hidden in the shower cap and some in the toilet bag. Hide the bag of soap pieces under a face cloth and wrap another face cloth or small hand towel around another couple of the bath items.
