King Bidgood's in the Bathtub

by Audrey Wood

Materials: Variety of water safe toys.

Activities: Play in the tub! See what sinks, see what floats. See what scenarios can be acted/played out in the water.

Tip: Try not to have so many toys that your child becomes overwhelmed, is unsure what to play with, or how to play. If possible, stick with themes so your child can start learning how to categorize. For example, one theme can be "pond" where you have ducks, frogs, fish, dragon flies, etc. Another theme may be "boats" or "fish" or "things that hold water." Think outside the box like King Bidgood and have food (plastic), warriors, or something different. Give your child plenty of time to play and supervise him/her closely.
