Fingerpaint in the bathtub03 Oct 08 | Comments: 13
Anna's wonders if her finger paint containment idea would work: I recently let my 18 month-old try finger painting for the first time, and we had a blast. I had him in just his diaper since skin is rather stain-proof,...

Jenn's practical bathtime hack: The other day I had the kids in the tub and upon closer inspection, saw that they needed their nails clipped. I decided to trim their nails right then and there, in the tub. Not only...
