GOOD, CLEAN FUN! As summer kicks off, your child will likely be spending time outdoors—at the playground, playing in the grass, or working up a sweat while running around. Hand washing and bath time are perfect for teaching your child about hygiene—and letters, numbers, science, and art! As you talk about getting clean, soap and bubbles can be your teaching tools. Squirt a letter on her hand with foaming soap or draw a shape in the tub with bubbles. Your child may enjoy getting clean as much as she enjoys getting dirty! BATHTIME FUN (pages 4–5): Ernie and his friends love playing with bath toys, but Bert would rather take a bath. ELMO’S WORLD OF WASHING (pages 10–12): Elmo sees how babies and big things get lathered up. THE WAY WE WASH (pages 14–15): Your child learns how Sesame friends clean up—and why Oscar’s so messy! Enjoy the issue!

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Ducks Ducks’ beaks are called bills. Ducks use their bills to eat and to clean themselves. They also use them to quack! Baby ducks are called ducklings. When ducklings first hatch, they follow their mothers almost everywhere. Sometimes, they walk or swim behind her in a straight line. Ducks have wide, webbed feet that work like paddles to help them swim. Ducks waddle when they walk, because their legs are far apart from each other. Oh, Rubber Duckie. You quack me up! sesamestreet.org ILLUSTRATION BY DONNA REYNOLDS © 2008 SESAME WORKSHOP.
