Need Advice!!!

I just found another empty shampoo bottle.  This one lasted less than a month (and considering the kids don't bathe everyday)...

If anyone knows a way to either do single servings of shampoo or teach a child to only use a quarter size (or less) for only your hair, I am all ears! 

We have dealt with this for years.  Unless we sit in the bathroom with him, he cannot stay on task and ends up using the shampoo as a bubble maker or some other nefarious use, not the intended use, making the bathroom into a lake or some other 'creative' mess.  We would love for him to be independent at bath time and the results of our attempts is high shampoo usage...  The other small caveat is that other boys use this bathroom and don't require adult supervision.  We already have to lock up the food and other areas of the house are off limits because of his lack of self control and impulse control.  I really don't want to lock up the shampoo too!!! 

HELP!!!!!!

Heard a hint a few years back of using the medicine "cups" to measure out those types of things. (the ones that come on the top of the bottles)
