I babysit my year and a half old baby sister 3 nights a week. When it comes time for her bath she throws a huge fit. Is there anything I can do to make bath time more fun?

If I were you, I'd buy a whole bunch of baths toys (rubber duckies, toy ships, etc). You can give them to your sister to play with in the bath tub. It distracts them! I know from experience. You may also consider making up a bath time tale to entertain her with and illustrate the scenes using the toys! Good luck!

A few bubbbles as well as the toys might help. Has she had a bad experience with a bath? Since she's so little and the tub is so big, maybe you could get in with her and just play, don't try to wash. Make a game of it, both the bath and the drying after. Check with your mom, maybe she doesn't need a bath every night.

While she is occupied gather some toys that will float, and run the bathe with a closed door. Make sure you use one of her favorite toys, and then pretend her toy and toys are in the water. Make up a story perhaps her favorite toy & had jumped in the water and she needs to retrive it Tell her the majority of this while in the bathroom, if not she may make off or throw a huge fit.enourage her to get in and save her toys. If this doen't work you may have to resort to taking a bathe with her.

toys toys and more toys...not like expensive ones but some spoons and plastic bowls maybe a rubber duck or something that floats around also maybe make it a game of it or a race to see how fast you can get a bath another thing to try is telling her a story while in the tub that way she will want to get into the bath to hear her favorite story

My daughter loves to take a bath with one of her barbie dolls. It makes bath time alot easier.

My kids absolutely love the bathtub crayons! They can write on the tub walls and on themselves and it comes off easily. They aren't very expensive either you can get them at any store pretty much. Hope this helps!
