   Invite the child. Put on aprons. Set out the basins and towel from left to right.

2. 2

   Fill both basins halfway with the pitcher.

   Hold the doll with one hand under its head and back. Lower it into the wash basin.

   Lay it on the towel, wrap it, and pat it dry.

   Empty the basins into the bucket, dry them, and hang the towel and washcloth.
