A joy for the baby, and a wet floor for the parents. Don't be angry with your child, because these 9 water games will give him real pleasure! They can be arranged both in the bathtub itself and in an ordinary basin or bucket.
1. Catch, fish, big and small
Throw any small plastic toys into the container - balls, fish, cubes - everything that you do not mind throwing into the water. Tell your child you are fishing. And his task is to catch everything that is in the basin. Let the catch stack up somewhere else. A real little fisherman will definitely love this game!

2. big washing
Even the little ones know that washing is an obligatory ritual in the family. Help your child be at the helm of this process. Let him wash things in one basin, for example, his dolls. And in another basin he rinses them. Ideally, hang everything on a makeshift rope. Let the kid try
use clothespins: They develop fine motor skills very well.
3. Ocean is shaking
What can you say about a real sea storm, when ships are carried away by the wind along the waves? Collect water and launch the boats to sail. If no toys are available, use wine corks and jar lids. Show your child how boats dock when you blow hard on the water.
4. Bucket sponge
Water from one basin to another can be transferred not only with the help of various containers, but also with the help of an ordinary kitchen sponge. She is not only excellent material for children's crafts, but also an excellent "carrier" of water. Dip the sponge into one bowl of water, and then squeeze it out in the other. Believe me, children are ready to do this manipulation an infinite number of times. They are so delighted with such an unpretentious "trick".
