Mom's Secret Weapon for Beating the Rainy Day Blues + Nuby Bath Toy Giveaway

During the month of April, the Rainy Day Blues tend to kick in over here, thanks to the frequent rain. All the rainy days are hard to deal with, but it's especially difficult for Liam and Lily, who just want to spend their time outdoors. If you have kids, then you know that cabin fever is legit!!!


I'm always trying to come up with new crafts and activities to keep my kids busy, but sometimes I just don't want to set up another rainy day activity. Like many moms, I often overlook the simplest way to keep them entertained, and it's something that everybody has in their home: The bathtub!

Putting on a swimsuit and taking a bath in the middle of the day can make this ordinary everyday task seem so different and so much more fun!

Nuby Bath Toys

Toss in a few fun toys, grab a book (or a device to watch Netflix), and sit back and relax while your child plays. If your kids are anything like mine, this activity will give you a full hour of relaxation! An hour of not hearing, "I'm bored!" over and over again is an amazing thing!

Mom-Approved Ways To Make Rainy Day Bathtime A Blast:


Put on a swimsuit! 


The Lucky Few

There's just something about wearing a swimsuit that makes this ordinary task seem more fun. It doesn't compare to a day at the pool, but it's still really exciting!


Mix in some color!


Bathtime Activities

Changing the color of the bath water is so much fun! Add one color changing tablet to the bath water, or mix two for a simple lesson in color mixing!

Add some bubbles!


Bathtime Activities

Bubble bath always makes bathtime more fun! Bonus points for blowing bubbles in the tub, too!

Toss in fun bath toys!


Nuby Bath Toys

Liam has two new favorites!

The Nuby Splash 'N Catch Bathtime Fishing Set is a versatile, BPA Free bath toy. The four colorful characters can be linked together, or the net can be used to scoop up the sea characters. Liam loves this toy, and I love how it helps Liam strengthen his fine motor skills by scooping and linking!

The Nuby Octopus Hoopla is such a fun toy! It's a toy and a game in one. The adorable octopus floats in the water, and the three included floating rings can be tossed onto the arms. This toy is also BPA Free and is perfect for developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination! It gets this special needs mama's vote of approval!

Give them washable paint and a paintbrush!


Bathtime Activities

This is a favorite bathtime activity in our home! An inexpensive palette of washable paint and a paintbrush captures their attention. Even better? It wipes clean in seconds!

Let them color with bath crayons!


Bathtime Ideas

Just like paint, bath crayons are always a hit! (Guess what? Even my tweens, Dylan and Lexie, use them!)

Add some sprinkler action!


Nuby Parent Blogger

Most kids love spray parks and sprinklers, so bring the fun to the tub! Although we used a favorite new Nuby product, turning on the shower will add to the fun. (Check back next week to see this beloved Nuby product in action!)

The next time the rainy day blues hit your family, send your kids to the tub! An hour of splashing may be exactly what you all need to turn the day around. After all, happy kids = happy mama!

  13. Such a fun idea! I have heard of so many moms turning bath time into play time and I think it is the best idea. If you can keep the splashing at bay, it keeps them contained which is always nice.
