Do you know what soap is? It's a kind of squishy, soft thing that we use to clean ourselves when we take a bath or a shower. Sometimes we also use soap to wash our hands.
Now, when we use soap, it becomes slippery and wet, and if we just leave it on its own it might slide and fall on the floor or get stuck on the sink. That's why we need a soap dish!
A soap dish is like a little plate or a bowl that we put the soap on so it doesn't go anywhere. The dish usually has some bumps or ridges on it, so the soap can sit on top and air can circulate around it. That way, the soap can dry out between uses and last longer.
Some soap dishes are made of plastic, others from metal or ceramic. They come in different shapes and colors, and can be plain or decorated with patterns or pictures.
So, there you have it - a soap dish is a little thing that keeps your soap in one place and helps it stay clean and dry. Pretty cool, huh?
