How to Make Bath Time More Enticing for your Toddler
Sometimes it can feel like no matter what you do, your little one just doesn’t want to take a bath. It can end in a tantrum too if you push the point. So what can you do to make your little person squeal with joy at the words ‘bath time?’ Here, we’ve listed some clever tips that might just work wonders. From getting creative with bath time toys to experimenting with the best time of day for a bath, we’ve got some great ideas that might just change this difficult task for you and your child:
Timing
You know what it’s like after you’ve had a long day. If someone asks you to do something you just don’t feel up to it and you are more than likely to drag your feet. This is the same feeling your child may be having. If bath times are usually in the night, try changing bath time to just after or before nap time, or much earlier in the day when they aren’t exhausted from the days activities.

Using Toys to Make Bath Time Fun
While we talk a lot about using toys to help children develop, one of the most appreciated side effects of providing our children with toys would have to be that it simply makes things easier on the parent.
Giving a child a bath can be one of the most stressful and taxing parts of a parent’s day. It really shouldn’t be so difficult, but the fact is that most children find bathing to be profoundly boring. Even if a bath only lasts, say, ten minutes, how many children do you know who are willing to sit still for ten full minutes?
As adults, the morning or evening shower is a much-appreciated part of the day. Fifteen hours and forty-five minutes out of the day, we’re working, taking care of the kids, driving around, making dinner, and rarely have a moment to ourselves. The sanctity and the peace and quiet of a fifteen-minute shower, then, is, for many of us, our only chance to really unwind.
Children don’t see it that way. For young children, a bath is ten or fifteen minutes away from our toys, away from our favourite TV shows, and away from every other fun thing imaginable.
