Easter Sensory Bath

Callie and Josh both love bath time. I enjoy mixing it up every once in awhile to make it extra special. The blog, Growing a Jeweled Rose, has a lot of awesome sensory play ideas, including bath play. I completely copied this Easter bath from her. (Isn't it great to have the internet for so many ideas now!?) Neither Callie nor Josh really liked all the Easter grass in the tub because it was clinging all over them, so we took it out pretty quickly.

For this bath, I dyed the water with food coloring. I put some plastic dinosaurs in the big eggs and in the little eggs I put some of those pellets that have sponge shapes that grow when placed in water. I also added some foam eggs that stick really well to the walls when wet.

Purple water, foam Easter eggs, and plastic eggs filled with treasures!
