Convincing a toddler to take a break from playtime can be an uphill battle. Convincing them to sit still long enough to actually bathe them can be an all-out war. Fun bath time activities can stop the madness! Look, we’ve all been that parent who just throws some toys in the tub, takes a seat on the toilet or hamper and hangs out while looking at a phone until it’s time to get out. But bath time activities can be a blast for both you and your toddler!
From music to sports to tub art – there are so many entertaining bath time activities to choose from these days. Make a project together, or shop for some of these water-ready resources.
