Frog Pond Bath

5 / 14 / 135 / 18 / 13

Frog Pond Bath | Mama Papa BubbaOne thing I love surprising Grae with is a fun, playful baths before bedtime.  While sometimes that means simply giving her a little container of epsom salts to sprinkle into her tub or putting a couple of drops of food colouring into the water, and other times it means something a little more elaborate (some of our favourites are glow-in-the-dark baths, balloon baths, and ocean-themed baths).  This one, inspired by a frog pond sensory bin I put together for a messy play date we hosted, converted her bathtub into a lovely frog habitat.
