Dude, is it hella hot today. (I’m in California, and this is how we talk.) I let baby Scarlett engage in about three different kinds of water play within a four-hour span of time. She was out in the backyard, sitting in a highchair with bowls of water and spoons to sprinkle with, and finally the bathtub.
Julian (three and three-quarters and a half years old, he’ll tell you) also likes him some water play. We had a spontaneous innovation a couple of weeks ago of a car wash in our backyard. It really kept him busy, and our ride-on toys have never been cleaner.

The essential to making it an official car wash seemed to be putting the car in a special place. In our case, it was on two outdoor IKEAÂ chairs. probably making a fort for this particular purpose would be the most satisfying.
Make it extra fun with a spray bottle, sponge, and a container to dunk sponge in.
While Julian washed the “cars”, I sat in a chair and paged through catalog after catalog that had are available in the mail. A mutually advantageous water play session, I’d say.
