Have a Blast in the Bath: Disney D-Lightful Challenge Week 6

October 20, 2011 by Janice

My son Jackson started having showers instead of baths at a crazy early age. He discovered he liked the shower at the swimming pool, so I turned into the only mother with a 2 year old calling out that it was time for his shower.

My daughter Olivia is a regular bath loving little kid. She loves to have a variety of fun toys… of course the Disney toys are top pick… and she’ll play happily until her fingers and toes turn to raisins.

Susan’s two girls were different from each other in how they spent their bath times. Julia would often have to be enticed by toys to get into the bath and then would usually stay in only as long as Susan was actively playing games with her.

But from an early age Sophia loved her bath time and often asked to get in the bath and then would play with her toys by herself singing along and making up stories for herself. She would be in ultimate bliss and as a mother and aunt watching her happily play by herself we were in equal bliss.

Whether your child likes to shower like Jackson or lounge in the bath like Sophia, they all love fun bath/shower toys and soaps/shampoos with their favorite characters. It just makes getting clean so much more fun.

Week 6-Making Bathtime Fun

Week 6: Have a Blast in the Bath

After a long day of classes, recess and after-school play, kids need to clean up – and wind down.

The key to getting your little ones to love the tub is to make it a treat, not a task. Shampoo, body wash and bath sponges with their favorite Disney characters promise that when it comes to fun, bath time is never a wash!

Tips to help make bath time fun:

  • Transition play time to bath time by allowing your kids to pick out which bath toys they want to play with
  • Let your kids pick a shampoo or body wash with their favorite Disney character and create a story to make bath time more fun

Head over to the DCP’s official Facebook page, Disney Living, to find out more about this week’s challenge and tips from the “Go-To Mom,” Kimberley Clayton Blaine, who has partnered with Disney to bring weekly video parenting tips.

 

Giveaway!

If you’d like to win a prize pack of the fun bath products shown above, leave a comment telling us “What bath time games make the biggest splash with your kids?”

    Hey there Janice I really liked your great blog post on Have a Blast in the Bath. When I originally commented I clicked the Notify me when new comments are added checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

    My 3 year old daughter thinks she is a grown woman. She likes talking showers every chance she can. So I started getting bath toys and different things for her to play with in the bath tub. Now she thinks its a swimming pool. She would play in the tub all day if I let her. She would love this bath stuff as would my son!!!

    For some reason my granddaughters think my bath tub is wonderful. It is larger than theirs and they like to fill it as high as they can. At home they take showers, but at my house bathtime is playtime. This would be right up their alley. They may never get out if they had all of the gifts on this prize giveaway!

    Out of the 37 toys floating in his bathwater, my 13 month old has always grabbed his little water squirting, hot pink starfish first. Every time. 🙂

    My daughter likes to spell crazy words she’s invented out of her foam letters — she tries to use all of them to make really long words stuck to the sides of the tub — and then make me pronounce these “words” while she giggles hysterically.

    I try to play educational games with my daughter during bath time. I fill the tub with foam numbers, plastic toys, spoon and other various water proof items and then to add the bubbles. My daughter steps in, sits down and feels for items. She gets three guess before she can bring it up out of the cloud of bubbles. This helps with her memory and using her minds eye to recall things. I have used coins such as pennys, nickles and quarters (after they were cleaned) to memorize her money values, also her numbers 1-9. She also make up a story using the bubbles are her props. She is going to be an author some day!
