1. Daytime baths change the tone of the day
Life is stressful for many right now. We're not used to being confined to our homes, unable to leave for trips to the park or outings to the shops. We're having to spend a lot more time indoors, away from our usual activities and that is so hard to get used to. For some children, this drastic change of routine can be hard to adapt to- and us adults are certainly feeling it too!
If your day is getting a little wonky and tempers are starting to fray, try filling the tub for a little time out. The warm water can relax and a change of scenery is always welcome when you're stuck inside.
2. Daytime baths create a new way to play
Kids love messy play! Parents, mostly, do not. But if you take the mess into the bathroom you can at least contain it a little better- and with a tub of water and bath toys, you can really change the direction of play.

3. Bathtime at any time is a great way to bond
One of the reasons why Cuddledry was created was because we wanted families to use bathtime as an opportunity to bond. In these strange times while things are stressful and life is so uncertain, grab any chance you can to unwind, slow down and just be together. Sing songs, tell stories, have a chat. Use bathtime to de-stress, evaluate and move on.
