Sunday nights are like Saturdays for me and my sons. We don't have to do anything on Mondays so bathtime can be a little longer and bedtime can be a little later. Last week, while browsing Pinterest (again!) I came across this great ice cube activity here: http://happyhooligans.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/ice-play-on-a-hot-fall-day/
I wasn't sure when i was going to be able to use them, but I made up the ice cubes in advance. So you just make the ice cubes as you normally would, adding a drop or two of food color to each one. Once frozen, put them in a plastic bowl and let your kids drop the ice cubes in the bath and watch them melt. My son even ran them along the sides of the tub and the colors melted down in colorful drips.
It was a simple, clean, fun thing to enhance bath time.
I would definitely do it again. The cost was zero and it kept my kid busy for about 10-15 minute. Definitely worth it and definitely making cents! I even feel safe doing this for my 5 month old too, ice and food color is safe for him to put in his mouth. He is just getting sturdy enough to sit up in his bath seat and grab things in front of him. Maybe I will try it on a hot day in the water table too like the example. Pinterest sail!
