You can sing songs together, count bath toys, or see who can blow the most bubbleswhatever types of activities will entertain the toddler so that they don't mind taking a bath. Use your imagination to get them involved and excited about bath time. You can also use bath time as storytime, letting the toddler pick out a book or two they want read to them while they're taking a bath. Play music while they're in the bath, or ask the toddler to help you come up with a bathtime song. Get your toddler used to interacting with water by testing out some water activities outside of the bathroomlikely outdoors. You can encourage them to play in the sprinklers, sit in a kiddie pool, scoop water into cups from a bowl, or even just use a hose to water the plants. There are tons of bath toys available that help turn bathtime into a fun activity. Choose bath toys that won't be damaged by water, such as rubber ducks, boats, animals, or squirt toys. When bathtime is over, let the toys dry out so they don't grow any sort of mold or mildew. You can purchase bath toy letters or waterproof books, allowing your toddler to work on their phonics while in the tub. Bath toys such as basketball hoops and fishing games help improve hand-eye coordination while taking a bath too. There are lots of different art supplies available for bathtime, such as bath paints, markers, crayons, and foams. Your toddler can draw on themselves or the tub's walls to have fun while bathing, and it all washes off once bath time is over. There are also bath dyes that will turn the water a different color (but they don't stain the tub or the toddler). This will help the toddler keep their head tilted back while you wash and rinse their hair, keeping all of the soap out of their eyes. You can tape a picture, attach stars, or hang a mobile from the ceiling to capture their attention. If your child is wary about the water, try to make the water engaging by adding bubbles. Your child will have fun playing in the bubble bath while you scrub them clean. Make sure to get bubble bath that will not irritate your toddler's skin or eyes. If you don't have bubble bath, you can create bubbles by pouring soap into a stream of running water. You most likely won't win a battle with a toddler who is at the height of enjoying their playtime if you start telling them it's bathtime. Instead, create a routine for your toddler so that they develop an understanding of when bathtime will occur. Stick to this schedule and have bathtime at the same time each day. For example, your toddler's routine could involve playing outside, eating dinner, and then taking a bath. If you need to change the routine, explain the reasoning to your child.
