A quaintly shaped sponge will often encourage zealous washing, or a face-flannel, with pictures or the owner's initials sewn on, will make washing a delight. Soap will prove attrac tive and will be used generously if ench child's piece is in a different shape, (animala, birds, fish, dolls and "teddies" in soup are easily obtainable and quite cheup), a different colour, and has a different scent, to be varied with each new purchase.
