Bathtime Fun Activities for Babies

Throw a Puppet Show

Pick The Best Toys

There are a lot of bath toys for babies in the market, but the best ones help a baby learn while she plays. For example, plastic cups in different sizes encourage pouring, filling and dumping. Furthermore, a set of floating sea creatures lets your child engage in imaginary play, and build language and counting skills.

Try Bath Books

There are colourful plastic-coated bath books that are suitable for reading in the water. Choose the books that match the setting, such as tales about ships, ocean creatures, or mermaids.

Bubbles Play

You can blow a few bubbles and your child can pop. Once your baby gets a bit older you can switch jobs. There are a lot of different styled wands that let your baby explore big and small sizes. As you play, speak out the words like “float” and “pop” and she’ll soon learn the words. 

Mirror Play

If your baby isn’t fond of her bath time, she might be swayed by mirror play in the water. Pick an unbreakable one made from baby-friendly material like plastic or acrylic.

Foam Play

Add some bubble bath or tear-free foam soap to the water and you can make up some excellent beards, moustaches and more exciting shapes! 

Textures to Delight

Your baby’s bathtime is a great chance to stimulate your little one’s senses with new textures, such as using a dry towel, a bath sponge, a wet washcloth, and even a body wash.

Sing While Lathering Your Baby

Bring out your singing talent and sing a mashup of tunes perfect for the baby’s bath time. Even if they aren’t totally relevant, your baby will love them. Plus, you’ll expand your baby’s music and language skills.

Bath time can be made very fun with these simple activities. Plus, these activities will help you build a bond with your baby and help them develop their sensory skills too.
