Kid's Bathroom Tips
Bathroom Storage Systems
Add a hook for your kid's towel or bathrobe, and these storage systems will help keep the bathroom neat and the bath products nice and dry, ensuring they last longer.
Kid's Bathroom Accessories
Rubber duckies make bath time fun, but they're not the only accessories that can help! Other kids' bathroom accessories include nightlights, which will help guide them in the dark, fun washcloths that will help inspire them to clean behind their ears, and theme-consistent wall-art, wastebaskets, tissue holders and light switches all make a kids bath kid-friendly and functional.
Monograms and Labels
If more than one kid is using the kids' bathroom, then it makes sense to make sure each kid has his or her own textiles and storage spaces.
Kid's Bath Products
To make hand-washing, teeth-brushing and bathing more enjoyable for kids, consider purchasing some of the kid-specific products that have come onto the market.
Bathroom Safety First: Water Smarts
Always stay within touch supervision of young kids – within an arm's reach -- during bath time, and don't leave bath supervision up to your older kids. To avoid scalding, keep your water heaters at 120 degrees Fahrenheit or less, and double-check the water temperature with a thermometer when bathing young kids.
The Hamper
Make tidiness easy, and your laundry tasks simpler, by having a hamper in the kids' bathroom.

What’s the Best Way to Give my Kid a Bath?
Bathing your kid can sometimes be tricky. The secret to giving a fun and safe bath is to gather all the materials you will need, place them next to bath area within easy reach, and lay out a towel so you can quickly wrap kid up after the bath. Make bath time even fun with animal washcloths.
For younger kids, the best bath toys are brightly colored ones they can use in the water. Involve the kids in your quest to buy some good bath toys as well. In time you will have a nice collection of educational bath toys and plenty of things to ensure the kids will be looking forward to their bath each and every time.
By the time, your kid reaches the preschool years, he may actually enjoy the prospect of bath time, and all those screaming sessions of his infancy and toddlerhood should have ended. Use this time to teach about the body, cleanliness and hygiene. With all that water and soap suds around, there’s plenty of opportunity for fun too!
1. Blow bubbles. More fun in the bath!
2. Introduce some dolls, and let her wash them while you wash her.
3. Paint on the sides of the bath tub - use shaving foam, bath tub crayons.
4. Add novelty to the bath experience. Freeze one of her bath toys (put some water and the toy in an empty carton and freeze).

BATH SALTS
What You Need:
· 2 C Epsom Salts
· 1 C Sea Salt or Rock Salt
· 1/4 tsp Glycerine
· Food Colors
· Essential Oils or Perfume
· Jars with Lids/Stoppers
Here's How:
1. Mix salts together in a bowl.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients. Generally a drop of two of fragrance is sufficient. Use ingredients containing water with care (color, certain fragrances), since too much water will dissolve salt.
3. Spoon salts into the jars and seal them. Decorative labels listing ingredients are nice!
Tips:
1. Make certain jars are absolutely dry.
2. Kitchen fragrances work well.
3. Not all essential oils are appropriate for bathing!
4. Colors or fragrances may be omitted, if desired, for kids with chemical sensitivities.
5. Some essential oils are naturally colored (e.g., chamomile is blue).

How Safe Is Your Baby's Bubble Bath?
Research shows that everyday chemicals may be putting our kids at risk. One factor is that children are being affected by their exposure to chemicals in many skin care products on the market. If you read the ingredients, you will find many baby bubble bath products contain potentially harmful ingredients. Whatever touches the skin is absorbed to some degree directly into our body.
What factors increase toxicity and how can parents protect children from harm? Our children’s skin is delicate and sensitive. Ingredient to avoid in skin care products is DEA or diethanolamine phthalates.
DEA and phthalates are two of many ingredients used in personal skin care products suspected of causing or contributing to cancer. ONLY purchase baby skin care products for your babies, children, as well as yourself that are “chemical free.” Be an active, aware and educated consumer that shops for products with SAFE ingredients in baby skin care products.
