Bath time fun for toddlers

In winter, when it's cold and wet outside, children can't play outside for very long. You've already been to the zoo and the playroom is full to bursting? Still, it's essential to make a little change to their daily games. What do you think about bath time at home?
A good bath awakens your baby's senses: the running water and the sound of hands tapping on the water stimulate hearing, the skin is caressed by the pleasantly warm water and the eyes are fascinated by all the toys in the water and the thousands of soap bubbles. The bathtub is an ideal playground for little ones who feel good in water.
Bathwater
The easiest way is to check the water temperature with a thermometer. If the bath lasts a long time, you can also see if you need to add a little hot water. Does plain water bore you a little? How about fluorescent yellow or red water?
Creating an atmosphere
Non-slip mats in the bath reduce the risk of falling and also create a playful atmosphere for the little ones.
Play and learn
By filling toys that squirt water, children learn to follow a procedure: fill the water pump, hold, pull and empty the water. It sounds simple to us, but for children, these gestures require coordination and a lot of concentration. You can pour water over the child's body using a small container. This encourages perception, as does cleaning with a flannel. Children can draw real works of art on their bodies or the tiles using finger paint - creativity knows no bounds.
After a bath full of discoveries
Bathing and learning is tiring. To finish the bath in style, there's nothing like having your parents dry you off and then wrap you up in the bathrobe.
