Activity #243: Make a mini water table

by Heather

Mini highchair water table
Misty’s found a way for her baby to enjoy some summertime water fun: Fill baby’s high chair tray with water for warm weather splashing!

I love this activity for hot, housebound babies everywhere (especially those of us jailed by an older napping child).

Baby Madeline’s high chair has a very deep lip, enough to hold about half an inch of water. Misty filled that with tap water, stripped her down, and let her splash around as she wants. It is amusing to see her reaction when she splashes herself, and her obvious enjoyment of the new experience.

I tried this one when I read it on Parent Hacks. Peanut loved it! Though he did make a huge mess on the floor. Good excuse to “mop” right?

My son does something really similar to this all on his own with his milk when he’s done eating. It’s not nearly as pleasant.

Cute idea! They love to play with water.
