Lemon scented ice cubes in the tub

We love colored ice cubes in the tub and we have made a few scented baths.  So I chose to put the 2 ideas together to make scented colored ice cubes.  This was our first try at this type bath.  We had already used some of the cubes in our outside water play.  My little tot loved the cubes in the bath.  He had been walking around with this bottle brush from their kitchen so we just added it to the tub.

I put the cubes in a little bowl and set it down for him to get them out. 

He loved holding them and then letting them go. What a great sensory activity for him and I wasn't even trying to add learning to the bath it just happened.  He gets to learn that ice is cold and will melt in the water:-)  Also these cubes smell good and have bright colors.

Sweet little foot.  You can see how the water changes color as the cubes melted.

Of course he had to taste the cube.  After all it smelled like food.  I let him play with the cubes before we did washing.  So to me the water was clean enough and so were the cubes.

I made these scented by adding a little lemon juice to the water before freezing.

Hope you can have some tub time fun with your kids too.
