For babies: Peekaboo books
Playing peekaboo is not only adorably fun, it’s also a precious opportunity to bond with your little one as you play together. For a sensory bath time ritual, grab a black and white washable bath book and give it to your tot in the tub. Allow them to grasp it and focus on the contrasting colors. While they explore the book, cleanse their skin with the nourishing formula of Baby Dove Calming Moisture Ultra-Gentle Foaming Wash. It’s made with 100% skin-natural nutrients, which are nutrients identical to those naturally found in their skin, helping to replenish moisture back into your baby’s delicate skin. Cover a page of the book with our hypoallergenic baby wash and feel the luxuriously foamy texture. Then say ‘Peek-a…’ followed by ‘boo!’ as you wipe the page clean, showing your baby that the page is still there. There’s nothing quite like the surprise and happiness of your baby discovering even the simplest things.
For infants: Pouring party
Your little one loves finding new ways to make bath time fun – and we’re here to help you on this journey. Say hello to the pouring party – their new favorite bath time activity. Using 1-2 pumps of Baby Dove Fragrance Free Ultra-Gentle Foaming Wash, gently massage and lather the airy foam onto their skin. Then, fill a few different cups with water and show them how each size washes away the bubbles – some quicker than others. Our panel of parenting lifestyle influencers found that little ones love new visual and tactile experiences, so expect them to be excited, and help them try this activity out themselves. With our Fragrance Free Ultra-Gentle Foaming Wash, you can enjoy this moment of play without worry – it has a tear-free baby wash formula that’s gentle on sensitive and eczema-prone skin, perfect when you’re dealing with a few splashes. Top tip: try using cups with a hole at the bottom, it’ll give them another exciting way to watch the water come out.
For toddlers: Foaming soap bath painting
It’s time to get creative with bath painting, but it’s not paint as you know it! Baby play foam bath painting (which uses foam instead of actual paint) is the perfect way to help your toddler channel their inner artist in a mess-free way, while gently cleansing and nourishing their skin. Start by washing them with Baby Dove Melanin-Rich Skin Nourishment Ultra-Gentle Foaming Wash, a dye, phthalate, paraben and sulfate-free body wash blended with almond oil and calendula. Let the foamy lather create bubbles in the tub and hand your toddler a few paint brushes, encouraging them to paint their body with the foam, the sides of the bath and their bath toys (and washing clean afterwards). This will also help them discover how different paint brush sizes create varying amounts of foam for your little artists to paint with. From our survey of parenting lifestyle influencers, we know that when it comes to bath time, parents also need a little time out to relax, so this is just the kind of activity you can both enjoy without a fuss.
