Bath Time Alphabet Scavenger Hunt!!

 
 
Bath time is not only fun, but it is totally educational when it includes an Alphabet Scavenger Hunt!
Who doesn't like learning when it is fun? My son had a blast with this activity!

 

I placed a set of plastic alphabet magnets that I picked up at Wal-Mart for $1 on the bottom of the bath tub and filled it with water and bubble bath.
 
 
I gave him a magnetic wand to aid him in his hunt....

 
and the hunt was on!
 
 
I painted a metal baking sheet( I picked it up for $1 from the Dollar Tree) with chalk board paint and gave it to him to collect his letters on.  I told him which letters to find and he searched until he found them. Another way of doing this is to write the letters you want him to find on the chalkboard. This can also be done with number magnets, which will be our next scavenger hunt for sure!

Bath Time is Fun When it Glows Blue!


 
 
Tonight, we had our second glow bath, this one was blue. Pretty cool, huh? The kids definitely thought so! 


 
 
The blue glow bath is quite a bit easier than the yellow one, at least I think so.
All I did is fill the tub with water like I normally would and added 5- 2 liter bottles of Tonic Water.
Turn the lights off and the Black Light(I picked mine up at Wal-Mart for under $11) on and you have yourself a Blue Glow Bath!


Make some glowing Bath Paint to go along with it.
I used a little bit of neon acrylic paint instead of food coloring, but neon food coloring would work too.
 

 
By the time the kids were finished with the bath paint, not only was the entire bathtub glowing, but so were they!
The beauty of it all is that it all washes off and goes down the drain!
