At this tender age, your baby can't verbalize and doesn't invent games just yet, but she definitely loves to see interesting sights and be entertained. Most children at this age enjoy being bathed, and are still in their baby bathtubs, enjoying lots of hands-on care and attention from mom.

Baby Einstein's Bath Puppet is a similar product, and it comes in a large variety of characters and colors. Any medium size brightly colored rubber or plastic toy can be fun for your baby to play with in the tub. They like grabbing and chewing on things, so always be sure the toys you choose are safe for these activities. Steer clear of anything with small parts or anything that could easily be broken into small pieces. Seek out phthalate-free and BPA-free plastics.

Age 1-3

Toddlers are exercising their independence, which might make bath time a challenge. This is the age when children may decide they're not happy about being bathed, and will let you know it loud and clear. A mom needs to be inventive and ready to provide fun diversions that will get kids in the tub, and keep them there until they're clean.
