homemade bathtub paint

Bath time is always fun, why not make it even more fun by introducing paint to your baby. “Safe paint” made by you at home. Great idea when it’s inconvenient to go out and play.

Sensory play are very important to your babies and toddlers, they can experience stimulation of their senses. In other words your kids discover and understand life through their senses.

I spotted this recipe while surfing on the net. Very Easy and simple, only 4 ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup baby shampoo
  • 4-5 drops of food coloring
  • 2-3 tbsp water

Use a tear free shampoo, so when it gets into the eyes, it’s not the end of the fun.

I put the colors in separate disposable containers, no need to wash later, just throw them.

If you’re worried about cleaning, it did wipe away very easy with only water. No food coloring stains.

We loved the game… happy bath time!

cheese mouse breakfast


breakfast mouseNothing is worth the look on your baby’s face when he sees this breakfast! it’s friday meaning it’s the weekend in Qatar. No work, no nursery let’s have fun. It’s breakfast time.

It’s a smart way to let your baby eat his breakfast if you find difficulties. In the same time he learns the colors and shapes.

All you need is to buy a flower shape cutter and I am sure the rest is available at home.

IMG_8392Use the cutter to prepare the carrots for the flowers. You can cut tomatoes and cucumbers as well, choose the vegetables your baby like.

IMG_8394– Cucumber peels for the flower stem and the mouse tail.

– Lemon slice for the sun shape

– Cut a triangle out of your baby’s favourite cheese.

– Two slices of the cucumber for the mouse ears.

– Cut the end of the olive for the nose and two small pieces for the eyes.
