Parents often struggle nowadays to teach their children about good personal hygiene and help them develop these habits.

They often hear the words, "I do not want to bathe, I do not want to comb my hair, I do not want to cut my nails, I do not want to brush my teeth."

Despite the challenge, we must teach our children the importance and benefits of learning self-hygiene.

It prevents a large number of diseases and discomforts, but also because through the habits that are acquired, they develop neural connections, motor skills are enhanced, self-esteem and autonomy are strengthened.

In the same way, the kids will learn how to manage the feeling of frustration. Remember that this is a process that takes time, and that not all children learn at the same speed.

Pour the liquid soap or shampoo into the container, add ¼ teaspoon of salt, and mix.

Step 4:

Take the alcohol and add it into the mixture, stirring gently to eliminate all the bubbles generated by the soap. Then very carefully, pour the mixture into the molds. And finally, we put the glitter on top for decoration.
