Read MoreIf you are lucky enough to live somewhere warm, head outdoors! We live in the Northeast. It is COLD and we are about to get dumped with snow. Needless to say, this will be an indoor activity for a while. For us indoor folk, I recommend setting up on the kitchen floor or maybe the bathroom.
Here's How to Do it:
1) Lay out a large drop cloth to ground the activity. If you are inside, I love this waterproof mat. It absorbs water and protects your floors from wet and messy play.
2) Set up a few “bathtubs” filled with a few inches of water.
3) Place water-proof babies inside the bins.
4) Lay out all of your bath accessories in an enticing way. Or, just dump them in a pile- your kids won't care!
5) Set up your rinsing station over a bucket. I balance it on a stool set just above the ‘bathtub' bin. This makes it feel like a real faucet for rinsing.
6) Roll up your child's sleeves and....
That's it! Now you can watch your kid have fun and feel like an awesome, fun mom. Or you can zone on your phone with a cup of coffee while your child is occupied and super happy.
