Dry yourself
The damp towel, the chill right after the water and all the spots that are hard to reach make drying off messy and uncomfortable. The pictures below break the body into a calm order, one part at a time.

About this visual support
Cold, wet, and wrestling with a heavy towel that will not quite grip: drying off after a bath is a sensory-messy moment. The water turns chilly against the skin, and the back, between the toes and the hair are hard to reach alone. It is tempting to just pull the towel across the chest and jump into pyjamas half-damp.
Visual support gives drying a body map to follow: hair, face, arms, tummy, back, legs and feet in turn. When each part has its own picture, it becomes clear what is left, and the child does not have to hold the whole body in mind while shivering.
One concrete tip: warm the towel on the radiator before the bath, so the first contact is cosy rather than cold, and start the drying order from the hair at the top down to the feet. In Routined you can add drying as a step after the bath, and you can try the setup for fourteen days at no cost.
