Splish Splash - Take a Bath

Bathtime is a great time to do lots of fun sensory activities. Here are just a few:

1. Have a bubble bath. Use the bubbles to "dress up". You can make a beard, moustache, hair or clothes with bubbles. Plus, they smell so good!
2. Put sponges in the bathtub and see what happens. Squeeze the water out of them over different body parts. Let your child bang on them, throw them, squeeze them and scrub with them.
3. Use different toys or kitchen items to pour, squirt or spray water. Spray or squirt different body parts and have your child point to the place you've squirted.
4. Play with fun foam or foam type soaps. Rub on different body parts.
5. Put sinking toys in the water and then search the bottom of the tub to find them.
6. Compare toys that float and sink.
7. Fingerpaint on the walls by the tub with fun foam or shaving cream. Talk about reaching "up high", "down low", making circles, using the whole hand or just the fingers, etc.
8. Use various levels of water. Talk about shallow water and deep water.
9. Use different temperatures of water. Talk about warm waterand cold water.
10. SPLASH, SPLASH, SPLASH!!!
