Christmas bath with peppermint ice cubes

We love tub time fun at our house.  I like to keep it simple.  This makes it easy for me to prep and clean up.  This is key for me with 3 young children.  In our 10 Christmas Ideas Kids Love you will find a fun Christmas bath from Growing a Jeweled Rose.  I knew we had to do one too.  We did a easy Halloween bath and I hoped to do more Holiday type ones after that.  So here is what I came up with for our Christmas bath.

My oldest has been on a candy cane thing lately.  With this in mind I thought we could do a peppermint/candy cane bath theme.


What we used and did: 

Colored & scented ice is always a hit in the tub with my kids.  With this in mind I made peppermint colored ice for their bath.  I just added food coloring and peppermint extract to the water before freezing.  We had window clings that I put in the tub for decorations and they can be played with.  I also added some plastic candy canes we got from dollar tree for our Christmas sensory bin. 

 Last, I let the boys share a candy cane when they got in the tub.  They just loved their bath and we have done this a few more times since.  We hope you may have some tub time fun too.

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!
