“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for SoCozy. I received Target gift cards to facilitate my review and thank me for my participation.”
Since I work most of the day, I am always looking for ways to make daily, mundane tasks with my kids more fun and enjoyable. I cherish the nighttime routine of dinner, bath, books & bed. It is such a fun & silly time with the kids (well, most of the time) and I get to hear all about their day!
Here are a few ways to make the most of bath time with the kids… so you can turn a daily chore into something everyone can look forward to!
 |
Have fun: From toys to bubbles, there are plenty of opportunities to make bath time a party! My kids love making ‘bubble hats’ and spiking up their hair with shampoo. I am sure to have a mirror nearby to show them the finished product! (cheap foam shaving cream is also fun for kids to create with in the bath!) They also love making up games with bath toys. Cups, strainers and little plastic dolls & figurines can provide tons of fun, and help little ones grow their imaginations! My son always liked to bring his mask and snorkel in the bath, it looked ridiculous, but he had the best time!

Make bath time educational: Bath time can be a good time to help your kids learn. I have foam numbers and letters and I float a bunch of them in the tub. Then I will ask Mila to find the red number 5, or find me a letter B… things like that. We also make up songs and stories using the bath toys they are playing with at the time.

| SoCozy is SO easy to find! |
Up until now, you could only find SoCozy at Cozy’s Cuts for Kids, a salon just for kids with 2 locations in New York City. SoCozy products are free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic colors and propylene glycol. (No nasties here!) They are also tear-free and have some seriously awesome ingredients for my kids hair! We love the 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I can wash my sweet girl from head to toe with this yummy smelling soap! It has keratin, silk amino acids and kiwi fruit extract to help make her hair healthy and strong.

| She always steals the detangler spray from me! |
I also use the detangler spray on my daughter since her hair is crazy! It goes all over the place so this spray is a MUST! My son loves the conditioner, even though his hair is so short and he doesn’t really need it, but he is obsessed with the smell! (all the products smell amazing!)
 |
Don’t rush: Try to get them in the tub early enough so they have plenty of time to play. Once I get them all clean, both kids love hanging out for awhile. Try to enjoy the moment yourself and resist the urge to rush them out. We all have lots of things to do, but soon your little ones won’t need (or want) your help during tub time.. so remember to take advantage of these sweet times with your children when they are still little.

| Have fun! |

I've never heard of this brand. Good to know. I bought my daughter a kids shampoo and body wash that was on sale, and she's complaining about the smell. Time to try this one out!
Yeah it was only available online and in the kids Cozy cuts salons in NYC… so now its at Target. I have to say I have noticed a HUGE difference using it.. esp with my daughters hair.
I have never heard of this brand either. Have to try it out sometime!
It has only been sold in their NYC salons up until now! Woo hoo! 😉
I,m going to try this brand on my nieces and nephews.
It smells so amazing too! They will love it!
Education and don't rush..so true! I love using bath time to sing songs or go over colors and stuff….they can't get too far covered in suds in the tub! Sometimes I do tend to "rush"…but it is also a great time for me to get things done. I can bring my tablet into the bathroom to look up a few things, or I even will fold clothes or get dinner going while they sit in the tub. Bath time is fun time at my house. The only thing is my 1.5 year old wants to take 3-4 baths a day..Oy vey.
hahaha Yes, I dont think I would even enjoy giving my kids that many baths a day! Now that Hudson is 6 he has been wanting more showers, so I am realizing how quick this bath time stuff goes by! ;(
Love Mila rocking the Mohawk!
I know! Isnt she so cute! 😉
looks fun! we need to do more baths. we do showers for time saving purposes!!!
Yes my son prefers showers… It was a wake up call.. like wait… no more bath time?? So now I am really trying to savor it with Mila!
I LOVE this detangler spray! It works great with my 8 year old curly headed little girl.
Yes it is awesome! My daughter has fine hair but it is always such a mess in the back, this has made a big difference!
Target has so many great products! I'll have to look for this one.
target has so much great EVERYTHING! ha! (ask my debit card..) 😉
Haha! So cute – I'll bet they did love bath time. How could you not with all those bubbles? And that Cookie Monster robe is so cute!
I love how you described how you cherish bath time and make the most of it. We are in dire need of a detangler. Grateful for the recommendation!!!
Bath time is always fun here too-both kids love it! I've never heard of this brand. I love Target though so I'll be checking it out! We could definitely use a detangler for my daughter's hair!
Target always has new brands worth discovering…will be checking this out!

Bathtime is one of my favorite times of the day – the kids are always happy when they are splashing around in water!
