Sensory Baths

 I follow this blog http://www.growingajeweledrose.com/ . The author of this Blog does Sensory baths, as soon as I came across the blog I fell in love with it. I just love messy and abstract play, here are some that I have done with Ava.  

 This is her Easter bath. I got 10 plastic eggs and filled them  with chocolate, plastic rings and erasers.

I then cut out some flowers, grass, butterfly's and bugs out of foam and taped them to the bath wall.

I then add a bath color tablet to make blue water and added bubbles. I then added the Easter grass. Ava loved everything but the Easter grass.   

 This bath is Ava's birthday Bath. She played with the balloons and colored in the tub. Ava is scared of deflated balloons that do not have strings on them. So her balloons are tied with ribbon 

Next up paint bath. I mixed food coloring, corn starch and clear baby shampoo. (if you mix food coloring with baby shampoo or bath wash it will not stain). Ava enjoyed painting and eventually dumped all the paint in the tub, which made for a black bath water. I have also seen puff paint with shaving cream,  I do not like the smell of shaving cream so this is an alternative.
