Lately, I've been taking some time when E is not in the bathroom to clean her artwork off the tub walls. Then I add my own art for her to find! I did animals for pretend tub play during our farm theme. She colored them in and fed them for several days.
We use these crayons which we got during the holidays. They've lasted all year and wash off well:
Last night after she went to bed, I washed the animals off. I added uppercase letters, her first and last name, shapes, and numbers.
During her bath, I asked her to find and circle letters and numbers.
After we did a few of those, she started erasing them with a wet brush, saying, "Bye bye E! Bye bye L!"
Numbers, too!
She also erased her name, spelling it as she did so.
She loved this activity!
