The Mom I Want to Be

 

• Package of colorful sponges

• Scissors

• Bathtub full of water

 

1. Cut colorful sponges into basic shapes, such as circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles.

2. Fill a tub with warm water and seat your baby inside.

3. Drop sponges into the water and let your baby explore them.

4. After your baby has enjoyed the sponges, take a sponge and press it to the inside of the tub. As you press most of the water out of the sponge, it will stick to the tub, as if by magic.

5. Attach more sponges to the side of the tub, and let your baby pull them off.

6. Talk about the shapes as you play with them.
