Turn bath-time or splash time into a learning activity with animal toys! This activity will help your toddler learn which animals live in water.

Put water in the tub and give the toddler an animal as you name the animal. Ask, “Does this animal live in the water?”

If the answer is yes, say, “Put it in the tub!”

If the answer is no, say, “Then let’s keep it out of the tub!”

This might seem like a pretty simple activity, but it helps your toddler begin to distinguish between different types of animals. Plus, it’s great practice for animal sounds and vocabulary!
