DIY Bath Paint
Bath time is always fun, but it can be even more exciting with a splash of color! DIY bath paint is easy to make and provides hours of entertainment for kids. Mix together equal parts of cornstarch and body wash or shampoo, then add food coloring until your desired shade is reached. Store the mixture in small containers and let your children unleash their creativity on the bathtub walls!
Sponge Boats
Turn ordinary kitchen sponges into miniature boats for bath time fun. Cut the sponges into small rectangles and attach a washcloth sail using toothpicks or skewers. Let your little ones race the boats across the surface of the water or try out different designs and see which one sails the fastest.
Water Sensory Bin
A water sensory bin is a great way to entertain young children during bath time. Fill a container with water and add different objects that float or sink, such as rubber ducks, plastic balls, and foam letters or numbers. Let your children explore and experiment with the different objects, and practice their pouring and scooping skills.
Bubble Bath Dough
If your kids love playing with playdough, they’ll love bubble bath dough just as much! Mix together equal parts of cornstarch and bubble bath or shower gel, then add a few drops of food coloring and mix until the dough is smooth. Store the dough in an airtight container and let your kids mold it into different shapes while they soak in the tub.
Bath Crayons
Bath time and art time come together with DIY bath crayons. Using soap flakes, water, and food coloring, mix together a paste that can be molded into crayon shapes. Let the crayons dry overnight, then let your kids use them to draw on the tiles and shower walls during bath time. When they’re done, simply wash the marks away with water.
