Turn Bath Time Into Math Time and More!

The following tips should help make your child’s bath time educational and fun. Purchasing multi-colored foamed number sets and foam letters of the alphabet can make a wondrous bath. Simply arrange the numbers on the tub. Next, ask your child to select two numbers. Whatever number the child selects, ask them to use their fingers to represent each number they selected. For example, if your child selected 2 and 5, ask your child to put two fingers up on the left hand and five fingers on the right hand. Now ask your child to count each finger that they are showing in total. For slightly older kids, challenge them by selecting numbers for them to multiply or divide.

The multi-colored alphabet letters are great for the younger kids. It is a great tool to incorporate familiarity with the alphabet and colors. In addition, as your child grows, they can use the letters of the alphabet to form words and create patterns with the colors. You can even create songs using rhyming words. Test their knowledge by asking your child to guess which letter sound that certain letters in the alphabet makes.

Finally, you should buy a waterproof book for your child. Your child can read and bathe at the same time. In addition, you can save time by reading the waterproof book to your child or by reading your child’s favorite bedtime book as they take a bath. Thus, when bath time is over, you can take them to bed without having to read a book while they are trying to go to sleep. I hope this article helps your child bath time a great deal of fun.
