Play “Peek-a-Boo” as you help your child bathe. Cover your eyes with a dry washcloth and say, “Jesus wants to be (uncover your eyes and say your child’s name) friend forever!” Play again, only this time cover your child’s eyes with a washcloth. Tell them to uncover their eyes when you say their name. Continue playing as long as your child is having fun.
