Bath Activities for Toddlers and Little Kids

These GENIUS bath time activities for toddlers and littles are super fun, creative and easy to do! 

What is bath time like at your house? My kids love it! Especially my toddler – it’s her favorite thing and she could stay in the bath for hours if we’d let her. With so much time at home the past few months, we’ve been getting even more creative with our baths. I’ve made DIY Bath Toys, Homemade Bath Paint, bath bombs, and so on.

A new, creative kind of bath is one of the best indoor activities for toddlers! Plus, playing with water, bubbles and the like is a great sensory activity. We thought it would be fun to share some of the best ideas we’ve been finding around the web. Pssst– here are even more fun kids activities. *This post contains affiliate links.

Favorite bath toys we’ve purchased:

• Bath Letters
• Crayola Bath Dropz
• Color Changing Car
• Color Changing Track

Another, very simple thing our littles are loving at bath time: having a water balloon to chase around or to shoot into a bucket. 

Reminder: always supervise your kids in the tub! Make sure you have your supplies and toys ready before you put them in so you can sit back and enjoy watching your children play while keeping them safe.
