Splish, Splash, Build: Fun Lego Bath Activity For Preschoolers and Toddlers 3-5 years old
Fun Lego Bath Activity for Preschoolers: A Busy Mom’s Guide to Bathtub Bliss
Are you ready to transform bath time into a fun, creative, and relaxing zone? Let’s talk about one of my favorite toddler and preschooler activities: LEGOS IN THE BATHTUB! Yes, you read that right this is a fun lego bath activity for preschoolers and toddlers. Combining the magic of Legos with the wonders of water can turn a mundane bath into an epic adventure. I’ll be honest when I told my son about this one he said it didn’t sound fun… then they literally played with their legos for an hour and 20 minutes in the bath! Quietly!! Here’s how to make it happen:
Why Legos in the Bath?
- Double the Fun: Kids love Legos and they love water. Put them together and you’ve got a winning combo that’s sure to keep your little one engaged.
- Mess-Free Zone: All those tiny pieces that usually end up scattered across the living room? Now they’re safely contained in the tub!
- Creativity Boost: The buoyancy of water adds a new dimension to building, encouraging your child to think creatively.
Setting Up
- Pick the Right LEGOs: Stick to the larger DUPLO blocks for younger kids to avoid any choking hazards. They float as long until they fill up with water and are easier to grasp with little hands.
- Clean Up First: Give the LEGOs a quick rinse before tossing them into the tub to make sure they’re free from any dirt or residue.Make it Extra Fun and Bubble It Up: Add a bit of bubble bath to make things extra fun.
Play Ideas
- Build a Boat: Challenge your little one to build a floating masterpiece. Can they create a boat that stays afloat?
- Underwater City: Let their imagination run wild as they build a city beneath under the water. Watch their faces light up as they create towers and houses in a whole new environment.
- Color Sorting: Use the time to reinforce learning by asking them to sort the blocks by color or size. It’s home education at its best!
The Cleanup
Once bath time fun is over, gather the LEGOs in a mesh laundry bag and hang it up or lay flat on a towel to dry. Easy peasy!
A Little Extra
Turn this into a tradition and watch how your child’s creations evolve over time. Maybe even snap a few pictures to create a bath time lego album. It’s a great way to document their growing creativity!
So there you have it! Legos in the bathtub – the perfect way to make bath time a highlight of your day. Not only will your kids love it, but you’ll also get a few precious moments to relax and enjoy their giggles and creativity. Happy building, and even happier splashing!
Remember, you’re doing an amazing job. Keep it up, super mom! 💕
