Toddlers can be a fickle bunch. One day, taking a bath is their all-time favorite activity; the next, they are hysterical at the sound of facet and throw a tantrum if you try to wash their hair. If you’ve experienced this split personality when it comes to getting clean, it may be time to mix up your bath routine. There are plenty of products that will help to make a toddler’s bath time both relaxing and fun. Here are five ways to get you started.
1. Grab household items for a bath time treat.
There are plenty of household items that can add to your toddler’s bath time enjoyment. Start in the kitchen: There are obvious items, like measuring cups and measuring spoons, plastic cups and bowls, but think bigger. Break out the colander and slotted spoons, cupcake pans, bulb-style basters and whisks. You can also wash out and reuse milk jugs, soda bottles, and other water-proof containers.
2. Let your little artist create during bath time.
No coloring on the walls, right? Bend the rules at bath time with fun products like bath crayons, which allow little ones to create masterpieces on bath walls without permanently marking up the tub or themselves. Other fun (and washable) products to try include finger paint soap or homemade puffy paint made with shaving cream. It may get a little messy, but the good news is that you already have your toddler in the bath!
