Baby in Bathtub
The page shows a baby in a bathtub with bubbles and one rubber duck.
Splashes and foam everywhere: this picture shows a laughing baby sitting in a bathtub surrounded by soap bubbles. Everything stands freely on a white background with clear, large areas.
What can you see?
The baby sits in the middle of a tub with a curved rim and little feet underneath. Foam piles up in front, a single rubber duck floats on the right, and round bubbles of different sizes drift all around.
Ideas for colouring
- Outline the bubbles only lightly so they look see-through.
- Make the duck stand out in bright yellow.
- Choose a calm blue for the water.
With its large areas the page suits younger children and topics such as washing, bedtime routines or water. Good to know: foam appears when soap mixes with water and air, and the duck floats because it is hollow and light. The many round bubbles are also a nice way to practise colouring small and large circles.
Keep going
Once the picture is finished, a whole bathroom can grow around it: a towel on the wall, a soap bottle by the tub or a window with a view outside. The motif then turns into a little scene, and children often start to tell what comes after the bath: drying off, slipping into pyjamas and listening to a story. If you like, add a second bath toy too.
