Pin itAll this activity takes is a bathtub and shaving cream, and the kids of course. Take a can of shaving cream and make mounds in your bathtub {no water – just the shaving cream} and then let the kids climb in while wearing their bathing suits. Your kids will go nuts! It’s a great [...]

Then get out your washable paints and let them stamp away! I have discovered that regular washable paint works better than Crayola fingerpaint- for some [...]
Pin itTake a bath for the sole reason of playing, not getting clean. Ahead of time, take one of their little toys and put it in a sandwich bag, fill it 3/4 of the way with water and throw in the freezer. When it’s bathtime, let them take it out and place it bathtub to [...]
