Small bucket with a small amount of water

Soap - liquid or bar
Towels or mop -to wipe up the water when finished
Process:
If using liquid soap put a few drops in the bowl of water if using a bar of soap demonstrate dipping the sponge(brush) into the water then using the sponge to get a little soap on the sponge. in a circular motion demonstrate making bubbles as you wash the object.
