Bathtime fun for everyone!
Why didn't I think of this?!!! Tip #366 from The Complete Book of Baby Bargains: Fill your ice cube trays with water, adding a drop of food coloring to each section. When frozen, these can be popped out and put in baby’s bath water. He’ll have fund “chasing” them around in the tub and trying to grab them before they melt.
Can't you just imagine the giggles this would encourage from little ones? Older kids would have a great time using cups to "fish" for the colorful cubes before they melt too!
what are your favorite bathtime games?
Miss Gene's Sticky Sticks
Aren't we always looking for a ceative way to work on shapes and letters? I know I am! A little while ago I made my daughter this activity box and she fell in love with it. So I made one for her friend who is also working on letters and shapes these days. It turned out rather darling and I thought I would share it with you! It is super easy to make and a great gift idea as well.
Excuse the iPhone pic.
In the photo above is a cute little pencil box that I decorated with stickers. Very simple.
Open it up and....
there are around 15 - 20 craft sticks in assorted colors.
I placed Velcro circles at the end of each stick, on both sides.
The sticks can be arranged to make letters...
and shapes....
Such a simple concept, yet a great deal of fun!
Happy Playing & Exploring!
