Rainy Shower

Bathroom is Maria’s favourite room in the house. She cannot wait until evening when she has regular bathtime. It is time when she usually gets a portion of positive emotions – so much she adores being in the bath (I guess, as many children at her age (9-10 months)).

She has many bath toys: ducks, ships, fish, - but they all just 5 min to play with. The most interesting toy is shower, which I introduced to her very recently. At first, she was a bit frightened but evidently fascinated by the shower. We have even a code name for it: RAIN! =))))

• We hide shower under water,
• Sink Maria’s ships,
• Water walls and all around including mum.
• Maria is fan of catching the stream,
• She also loves to fill with water cans, plastic glasses and other emkosti.
• What is more, shower helps me to teach Maria parts of the body: “Now we will water hand…. another hand… back… belly…”. Maria knows already what I am going to do and puts her legs or hands under the rainy shower.

It really helps as the studying is in form of the game and is associated with positive emotions, which encourage instant memorizing.
