Seth Sara

Ever since we moved to our own place in December, Seth has been playing with the same bath toys twice a day, everyday.

Our bath time ritual will be to fill up the little basin with cold water as we wait for the warm water to run through the pipes. After that I would proceed to shampoo him while he fiddles with the 3 little balls and 2 stacking cups. Sometimes he would dip his arms into the cold water and pretend to ’swim’. Other times, he would be happy just to scoop up water and pour from one cup to the other. He would also fill the balls with water and squirts them, usually at himself. His showers are usually no more than 5 minutes. And yet, he would have accomplished a lot with these toys.

And as I rinsed him off and tell him to keep his toys, he would slowly remove the balls and cups from the basin, pour water from the basin to the blue cup, spilling most of the water anyway, thus he was able to fill the blue cup with a basin of water! And finally, he would pour the cup of water on himself and then stack everything back into the basin.

He would then return the toys to the corner outside the shower. Not forgetting first to tap the bottom against the bathroom mat to dry off the water below. All Done! Ready to be played again at the next bath time!

Simple toys.
