Blue & White Birthday Bath Fun

My husband's birthday was about to come and I was busy planning some surprises for him. At the same time, I wanted my 3 yr old to be entertained, surprised and to have loads of fun.

I decided to go for a "blue & white" birthday party. A part of the plan is to surprise him when he goes for a shower after his gym time. My little one loves to play with water any time...and.....

 Here it is....the magic of blue water...everything in blue or white or blue & white combo...

Here starts the fun arrangements of surprise & entertainment:

Since it was a "blue & white" party, I bought a blue notepad (had 150 sheets) from the dollar store. On one sheet, I wrote 'open for a birthday surprise' and attached to the door.

I took 13 notepad sheets and cut them into triangular shapes in the lower half, to give them the banner shape. I attached them above the bath tub with some cello-tape, so that it can be seen once the door is opened.

I bought a pack of 20 balloons along with an air pump for $1 from a dollar store and used all the blue balloons wherever possible.

I made a crown for the 'birthday boy' out of the balloons and hung it on the tap.

On the top of the flush tank, I arranged a few air fresheners and decorated with some balloons. I got the glade air freshener for about $2 from soap.com and $1 glass bowl from dollar store and $1 blue scented crystals from dollar store.

I collected all the blue and white toys from my kids toys' room and spread them in the bathtub.

Look at the 'blue & white' bath sponge, white soap and a blue egg. Inside the egg, I kept a small surprise for my kid. I bought some water toys and kept them as gift for the b'day boy .....(but, actually for my kid)

This is another b'day gift.....yeah...that too for my kid to enjoy. But dad gets the credit of opening the pack and operating it.

This is the most fun and exciting part. A few drops of blue food coloring does this magic. Open the tap to fill the bath tub. Meanwhile add a few drops of blue food coloring to the water. Look at the water turning into a deep blue sea....

It is totally safe to use food coloring in water for bath. It does not cause any skin irritations or harm. I have tried with various other food colors.

Oh! What a joy for my little one....to play with dad ...with his new toys... balloon fight......in blue water.


I am totally satisfied to see the surprised face of my beloved husband and the happiness, fun and excitement of my kid. I am proud that my thoughts and actions brought smiles on the two cute faces.
