Ellie the little elephant loved playing in the garden sandbox. She built three tall sandcastles with her favorite red spade.

Mama Elephant stepped onto the grass with a plate of crisp apple slices. It was time for a yummy morning snack!

First, Ellie used the little bathroom. Afterwards, she skipped toward the food, but Mama gently stopped her.

"Remember our clean hands rule," Mama said with a warm smile. "We must wash away all the dirt before we eat!"

Together, they stood by the low sink. Step one was easy! Ellie turned the faucet to wet both of her hands.

Next came step two! Ellie rubbed a smooth bar of green soap between her hands until white foamy bubbles appeared.

Step three: scrub, scrub, scrub! Ellie sang, "Front and back and in between, bubbles make my hands so clean!" She sang it two times.

For step four, Ellie put her hands back under the warm water. She rinsed away all the suds until they sparkled.

Finally, step five! Ellie grabbed a soft striped towel and dried her hands completely until they were sweet and clean.

And so, with sparkling clean hands, Ellie happily crunched her sweet apple snack, proud of her bubbly wash routine.
