You can all dig your hands into the dirt and rub it in really well.
Then try cleaning your hands with a paper towel.
And, you can use these magnifying glasses to help you look really carefully at the dirt
on your hands and fingernails.
And if the paper towel doesn't work, then we use soap and water?
You got it! Okay, scientists, go for it. It's time to get dirty!
You can help your child make discoveries every day.
Use some chocolate pudding to show how dirt sticks to your hands.
Then show your child how clean they get when he washes them with soap and water.
Simple activities like this will encourage your child to explore the world.
Share the joy of discovery with your child.
