Who knew that bath time could be so educational?
I’ve been using bath time to help teach the kids their writing skills. I use foaming soap and cover the walls of the shower for the kids to write. They will spend tons of time writing and erasing letters, numbers, shapes and drawings. Drama King is showing an interest in writing his name but only during tub time. I couldn’t get him interested in writing at all. He said it was no fun so I had to come up with a better way for him. I think he thought it was no fun because Little T kept correcting him when we wrote on paper. In the tub, Little T is too busy drawing on his side to be concerned about Drama King being ‘wrong.’ Drama King is just learning how to connect lines to make ‘things’ so as expected, his letters are a little ‘off’. Little T doesn’t understand that Drama King is a year younger so he needs time to learn just like Little T had to learn and he picks at what Drama King does. I have to separate them for now when it comes to certain types of things so Drama King doesn’t get discouraged. Drama King and I work more on those ‘harder’ things when Little T goes to Grandma Deb ‘s house.
