Polka Dot Bath


Pin It

This was such a simple and fun bath with an educational twist! I purchased a pack of round foam circles at Hobby Lobby to create our Polka Dot Themed Bath. With a little water splashed on the walls, craft foam sticks all by itself and can be peeled to stick and re-stick as many times as you'd like as long as the foam or the walls are a bit wet. Craft foam can be bought or cut into many different shapes and objects so it's a really simple and cheap way to make bath time fun!
I also added neon purple food coloring to the bathwater as an added element of fun!









Without intention, our polka dot bath turned into a learning opportunity as well!
 L wanted to use each separate tub wall to sort the polka dots into color groups and when he was finished we counted how many were in each group and then we added them all up.  








When it was time for my 15 mo old to get in the bath, I drained the bath a bit and moved the circles down along the inner tub walls so he could reach them safely without standing.



 This bath was a hit with both boys..and so totally simple!

  4. This is AWESOME!!!

    I'm going to use them with math facts...put the problems on the walls (written on the bubble) & the answers in the tub with PLENTY of bubbles and the have to "dive" for the answer that matches the problem. Fun way to review math facts.

    THANK YOU FOR THE IDEA!!!
