Parent Hack: Water fun in high chair

Parent Hack: Water fun in high chair by mpoush.
We are trying to not use the air conditioning, so things are really starting to get warm. My daughter is too young to really go swimming or use the water playset hack talked about on parenthacks.com. But her high chair has a very deep lip, enough to hold about half an inch of water. I 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.

Note: For the picture I added just a bit of food coloring so the water was visible.

Great idea! My baby is just 3 months old, but when he can sit better I will definitely be try this. What did the floor look like afterwards?

Nice. And better than a bathtub because you CAN take your eyes off them for a second (not to mention using less water). Thanks for sharing!

The floor wasn't all that bad--I cleaned it up with a tea towel no problem.

terrific, I hung up my daughter's jolly jumper the other day over top of her infant bathtub (we have a log house with a beam running the full length of the living room so she wasn't stuck in a doorway). She bounced and splashed in the water for a good 20 minutes!

This is a really nice idea. My daughter's a bit old for it now, but I'll remember it in case there's another little one in the future.

actually, they're never to young to go swimming. you can hang on to the kid in the pool, but this is great. I made my son a water table, though it wasn't to cool down, it was just because he likes water. I might have to incorporate this with him, less mess this way!
