Easter egg number learning puzzle

We are working on number recognition and counting in order. So I put together this fun Easter egg puzzle bath. Very simple to do. You can buy the foam eggs from a local craft store or you can make them using foam sheets like I did.

All you need to do is write your number and dots on the egg and then cut it in half so the kids can match the pieces together.

You can also do this with alphabets like we did in our alphabet bath.

Fun way to add learning to the bath, center time or even a great busy bag.

Cate is learning number recognition, so Jake helped her out some. She is also working on colors so she would match the colors up to see if the puzzle fit. This is a great fine motor skill for little ones along with learning numbers or letters.

You can also check out our bathtime link for other fun bath time learning games and activities.

Make your own Alphabet bath soap or crayons

We love bath time and adding fun learning in as well so I thought it would be fun to make our own alphabet bath soaps. 

I was at Micheal's the other day going up and down the aisle when I saw a make your own soap section. Have to say never thought about doing that since I am funny with smells for the bath and the kids with sensitive skin. But they had clear glycerin soap blocks and with my 50% coupon was only $4.99, so I thought it would be worth a try for the kid.

Then I saw an alphabet soap mold for $2.00. So I came home and tried it and well it worked great and the kids thought it was the coolest thing for the tub.

Very simple to make.

Directions:

Follow what is on the soap block and I added food coloring to different batches. Place in the molds and you have soap after about 15 minutes. This was super easy to do and didn't make a mess at all.

Shamrock rainbow alphabet learning bath

I love to watch the kids learn through play and so I put together a fun Alphabet matching and spelling learning game for bath.

This is a fun and simple bath and can also be used outside the bath as well. 

All you need is foam shamrocks and letters from the Dollar Tree. If you didn't know when craft foam is wet it works like a sticker on the tub or wall. We also used a spin chart I got in the Target dollar section for a little extra fun...spin the wheel and find the letter.

This game can also be used outside the bath, all you need is a dry erase board. If you take a squirt bottle and damp the foam it will stick to the dry erase board or even a chalk board.

I would spell a word and "J" had to find the letters and put them in order.

With toddlers you can have them find the letters and tell them what it is and then have them repeat after you. That is what we did with "C".

They really enjoyed this bath and is a great way to tie in learning.

Valentine themed learning dice bath game

We have been working on counting and number learning. So I put together a fun dice game for "J" and "C" to do in the bath. They really liked it. The nice thing is there is so many different things you can do with this fun game.

Materials:

Heart dice (2 for $1.00 at Target)

Heart shaped foam (10 for $1.00)

Plastic heart table scatter pieces (20 for $1.00) These can be reused to make a fun Valentine's sun catcher.

Plastic heart containers (10 for $1.00 at Dollar Tree)

We rolled the dice and "J" had to fine the numbers and count the Valentine treasures. We did some simple math problems. He had a really fun time with this bath.

We love doing learning baths so be sure to check out some of the other fun ones we've done.

Rainbow colors and shapes learning bath

In the dollar section of Target they had these great laminated "Leap Frog" spin charts so I picked up 2 of them to practice shapes and colors with "C".

Then I was in the Dollar Tree and in their learning section they had 2 packets of foam shapes. So I got them as well.

This made for a very easy learning bath to put together for the kids.

I took all the shapes and let them float in the tub and placed some around the tub. Taped the learning chart up for them to spin. They were so excited when they came in. "J" said, "sissy we are going to play a game look" and pointed to the spin wheel. 

This set up is great for the bath, to make a learning center in the classroom or even make a floor game with it. Open ended learning for less then $3.00.

So "J" spun the wheel and would tell "C" what she needed to look for. It was so cute listening to them. "C" would hold the shape up or place it on the tray behind her. After she was done she started putting them on her saying, "momma stickers, stickers." The loved this bath.

With "J" we did counting and patterns so I would start a pattern and he would finish it. Also, he would find the number I called out and count the shapes.

This was a fun learning bath for the kids and lots of different ways you can do things. "J" asked could they do it again tomorrow night. Love when they ask to do fun learning again.

If you can't find the foam colored shapes at the Dollar Tree, you can always cut shapes out yourself with craft foam. Then just wet them and they stick to the bath walls and tub.

We love doing fun learning baths below are some of our favorite ones.

Christmas Tree learning/fun themed bath

If you been following us you know that I have been doing fun learning baths with my kids. Since we just decorated our Christmas tree and it is all fresh in their heads I threw together this learning  number bath.

This bath has 2 ways to teach counting, one by adding the bulbs to the tree and counting out loud and the 2nd placing the numbers in order to make a Christmas tree. The second one also is teaching biggest to smallest as well.

This bath was very inexpensive the wall stickers were $2.50 from Walgreen's, if you haven't been in there for Christmas stuff I suggest go. LOTS of great things from toys to decorations.

Then the foam trees were from Dollar Tree came in a pack of 6 for $1.00.

The number tree was a sheet of green foam cut and the circles were a pack of 20 sheets for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree as well, and I only used 5 sheets so you still will have more for other fun baths or crafts.

Then I added some other Christmas things we had around the house.

This is also a great thing to do as a learning station in a classroom or even at home. The foam will stick to a chalk board or you can use felt.

I also added some red food coloring for some holiday fun.

"J" putting the tree in numerical order, then adding 10 blubs onto his tree.

"C" putting the bulbs on her tree and counting with mommy.

Be sure to check out some of the other fun ways we have tied learning into our bath. Snowflake spelling, Alphabet learning puzzle and Number tree. This is some of our fun learning baths, don't miss any by checking our Bath section.

Snowman themed learning bath

With Christmas in the air and the love of snowman, thought it would be fun to make a snowflake spelling bath since we have been working on sight words.

I would say the letter and "J" would find it, then he put it on the wall or the side of the bath tub and I would tell him what word it spells.

This week is going to be a snowman week of fun, so if you like snowmen like we do be sure to check back.

This bath was simple to put together I got window clings and snowflakes from the Dollar Tree, then just used a sharpie to write letters on the snowflakes.

This is also something fun to do on the wall of a classroom or playroom and play a holiday word game with the kids.

Then after "J" and I did some spelling fun I added Snowman glow sticks to the bath. "J" and "C" had a great time playing with those.

Words we used:
Cold
Ski
Snow
Fun
Sled

We will be doing a build your own snowman bath as well, stay turn to see how to do it, with fun foam bath stickers.

You can get the glow sticks from the Dollar section at Target. Be sure to check back we have some more glow fun in store with our Christmas Tree theme coming as well.

Alphabet Puzzle Learning Bath

What better way to have fun teaching your kid(s) then in the bath. "J" really loves doing learning in the bath cause we make it a fun time and turn it into a game, plus it is great bonding memories.

This bath is very simple to put together all you need is foam sheets, scissors and a sharpie marker.  I got a huge pack of all different colors from Michael's Craft store for $7.99, but used a 50% off coupon and got it for $3.99 great deal.


Material:
Scissors
Sharpie marker
Foam sheets (13) I think they are 5x8 in. You can get a pack of 20 at the Dollar Tree.

To make the puzzle pieces I cut the foam sheet in half, to get 2 pieces. Then cut the puzzle pieces from that so 1 sheet will give you 2 puzzle letters. 

Once the foam is wet it will stick to the wall or the side of the tub like a sticker....makes for fun play with learning. You can also use them on dry erase boards the same way.

Turkey word ending and matching bath learning

We have been doing learning games in the bath for awhile and I didn't do one last week due to the storm (Sandy) and then traveling, so last night "J" said mom when are we going to do a fun learning bath.

So we did, I got out the turkey's I bought on sale at Micheal's and then cut out some feathers and made a matching game with word endings.

"J" had a fun time, and I have to say he was really into learning and pronouncing the words with me.

If you have a little one that is having a hard time focusing with learning for math, reading or writing taking the time to do this in the bath is a great way to bond and help your kid learn.

It's a hands on thing and alot of kids like that way of learning.

Word ending we used:
 "OP" with the words cop, mop, top, and hop
"AN" with words man, ran, tan, fan, and can
"AT" with words sat, hat, cat, mat, and fat

After we played the game in the tub, I came back in the bath room and "J' matched them up again and thought it was too cool they floated. Different way to learn as well.
