Bath Time in a Peanut Jar

Post by ranchnanny » Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:04 pm

Got tired of getting water on the floor with an open bath so I created an enclosed bath from a large peanut jar..... Way to much time on my hands LOL! But it works and they love it. It wasn't in there very long before they were using it. It saves water as well. Its cute to watch cause once one get in it a line forms.

The plastic shoe box is a great idea would allow more in at one time if you have the space. Way to much fun.....

Awesome idea!!!

That's going to eliminate a lot of that wet newspaper smell... eww...
AND maybe the tendency to "throw everything in the pool." LOL!

Nice!!!

You bet Cindy. I made several nest out of 1/2 gallon milk containers and any one of those would work. I made one out of a Whopper Candy carton and the birds are always playing in them.
