The child learned that soap can help with not spreading germs and how to wash their hands using the steps.
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
Another way you can show it's important to wash hands because germs can move to different things, is mix lotion and glitter and have them rub it on their hands and touch toys or give high-five to someone that didn't put the lotion on.

I didn't see any pitfalls for me but the child could spill the bowl of water or put too much pepper or play in the sink while washing hands. The Solution is to monitor during the experiment.
