My son learned the names and locations of his body parts during bath time. He is able to distinguish his right from his left because of bath time. He practices swimming during bath time. In our house, we utilize bath time for many important things. We use it for learning and playing. When my son was a baby, he didn’t like the bath. In fact, it was miserable trying to get him in and washed up in record time. My husband and I thought about what we could do to make it more enjoyable for him. These days, he not only asks to take a bath, he protests when it’s time to get out.
A decent bottle of bubbles and some fun bath toys can make a world of difference in a child who does not want to take a bath. Suave Kids has recently launched their new campaign, Wash Them Grow, encourages you to recognize bath time routine as “an opportunity to teach, nurture and transition your child through the stages of growth and cleansing.” Right now, Suave Kids is holding a sweepstakes with a chance to win awesome prizes every week including a Family e-Keepsake Kit (which includes a video camera, laptop, and digital camera). The Grand Prize is a family vacation to Orlando! To enter, head on over to the site to play a fun online trivia game. You can enter daily through February 22. And if you refer a friend, you’ll automatically gain another entry!
Suave Kids offers four body washes for every stage of childhood. Our favorites are the Strawberry and Berry Body washes because they smell incredible. I also like the Free and Gentle Body Wash which is dye free and non-irritating to my son’s skin. My son has very sensitive skin but has not had any reaction to the washes (perhaps because he’s older now as well). Suave Kids also offers a Moisturizing Body Wash which is a great transition wash for baby’s. Suave Kids products are made for children’s skin. They’re ophthalmologist-tested and tear-free (which is important because my son absolutely despises soap in his eyes).
Contest Details: If you decide to enter the sweepstakes, you will be entered to win some of the fabulous prizes listed above. And, the blogger who refers the most readers to enter the sweepstakes will win a year’s supply of Suave Kids products for 10 readers. So it’s a win-win situation! Have fun!

I’ll leave you with some Bath-Time Tips, courtesy of Suave Kids (with some commentary by me!):
Nurture Your Baby’s Firsts: We don’t bathe our little girl all that often, but her first bath is forever remembered on photographs.
Start Teaching at Bath Time: Show your children how to get clean all by themselves (we do this with our son!). I tell my son, wash your right arm, and your left arm, and your back…
I Can Do It Myself: My son is in this stage right now. He wants to dress himself, feed himself, and bathe himself. Allow your child to participate in bath time. It will make the time so much more enjoyable for both of you.
I did not receive compensation for this post. Product samples were received, courtesy of Suave Kids and MomSelect to facilitate this review.
