Balloon Bathroom: How to Improve Wiping Skills in Kids

This video shows you a fun (and funny!) way of practicing a very important toileting skill of wiping after a poo! 💩🚽 Join Neve and Ella as they show you a game that can encourage your child to develop their self-care skill of wiping!

Bottom wiping is a common activity of daily living that some children can find really difficult for a variety of reasons (e.g. touch sensitivities, limited postural stability, difficulties with balance, limited awareness of clean vs. dirty, etc).

Once kids have learnt how to go to the toilet independently (bladder and bowel control), they'll need to also learn the skill of wiping their own bottom. This video shows one way of practising that skill!

All you'll need to try this activity out is:
A balloon,
Some toilet paper,
Shaving cream,
A chair, and
Some sticky tape
