hello. I would like to share something that I have found to help with bath time. If your child/children has any washable markers that has dried up because of caps being left off etc. Don't throw them away. Save them in a ziploc bag, basket, etc. and when children are in the tub for their baths, give them a marker to draw on the tub, and their self. It is really easy to clean off the walls of the tub and children if they write on skin, I have found it was easier to clean the markers off the tub, than the soap crayons they have for the kids to use. Yes the water will turn colors but it isn't anything to worry about. I have found that if I have to do a steam breathing treatment when my grandchildren is congestive, I put them in a really warm bath, give a marker or 2, and run the sink hot water to steam up the bathroom. They will stay in there playing long enough for the steam to help.

Also, parents you can use them if you want to get creative when you soak in hot water. Just color a picture on the tub, relax, and enjoy. Evidence can be washed away! lol

That's a really great idea! I've bought the modeling soap before, that is fun, but they have so many "good" markers nowadays, hard to think of them instead of the soap crayons or other things specifically for the bath. Thanks!
