Bath Toy Roundup

When you have little kids bath time is usually play time, but when you put your kid in the huge tub, their bath toys tend to float away and out of their reach.

All you need to do is take a laundry basket, a long plastic one with holes, and have your child sit in it while they're in the bath.

Throw the toys with them in the basket, and your child should be able to reach them with ease.

The laundry basket also doubles as a nice chair for them to lean back in.

Lazy Baseball

Dads teaching their kids to play baseball is an American pastime, but who wants to keep chasing down that ball?

Here's a way you can teach the kids how to swing a baseball bat without all that running. All you need is a fishing pole and a tennis ball.

Attach the tennis ball to the hook on the fishing pole, hang the ball in front of your child, and let them swing away! Just make sure you have plenty of fishing line before they hit the ball.

You can watch the ball fly to the other side of the yard, and reel the ball in while staying in your lawn chair. Repeat the process until your kid is all tired out, because with this method, you won't be!
