Father's Day With Waterwipes

Wow what a weekend we have had, we managed to cram in quite a few adventures, I can't wait to share them with you. But for now I'd like to share our Friday with you. My daughter and I were taking full advantage of the beautiful sunshine with lots of garden fun, sun bathing, a picnic party and opening packages that the poor postman struggled with. A beautiful hamper arrived for us and we could wait to open to see what was inside. 


I don't know what you're like but when it comes to certain celebrations I always think about them last minute, I always have the best intentions but times flies by. So when this beautiful hamper arrived from WaterWipes I was only too happy to open it. This hamper included an array of stickers, feathers, paints, glitter pens, colourful paper and oh so much ribbon, we couldn't wait to get started and unleash some creativity. Whenever my daughter asks to get 'the painting' out, I wince, the clean up is just too much some days, but with the help with WaterWipes I was only too happy to let her loose and be creative to make her Daddy a Father's Day Card. 


About Waterwipes

A baby’s skin is much more delicate than your own. So it should be cleaned with only the gentlest and purest elements possible. WaterWipes are the only wipes made with just two ingredients water, specially purified and softened, and a tiny drop of grapefruit seed extract. There are a great alternative to cotton wool and water. WaterWipes have been carefully designed to be gentle on babies’ sensitive skin. They are the only wipes that contain absolutely no chemicals, just 99.9% water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract – a natural skin conditioner. They don’t irritate the skin; instead, they may help avoid nappy rash and other skin conditions. 

The first thing that I noticed about these wipes was the fact that they feel completely different to standard baby wipes, they seem almost purer. The wipes were much thicker not like other wipes that seem to be see through, I definitely won't be caught out whilst wiping the little lady's bottom again, that's for sure. WaterWipes are both effective and durable without containing harmful chemicals that may cause your baby to get rashes. In a nutshell, WaterWipes are amazing. They are an excellent alternative for people who want to use water and cotton wool method, which would have been perfect when my little one was a new born, as she has sensitive skin. These WaterWipes are perfect for parents who are looking for natural, chemical free wipes but still need the convenience of a packet of baby wipes. 


Along with the help of WaterWipes I decided to encourage my daughter to unleash some creativity. We made a mess, we created a masterpiece or two and we had the most fun. The first thing that we decided to do was play with the glitter glue, something that we've only really dabbled in once before, as the first time we used it she thought it was a good idea to try and eat the glitter glue. But this time she did really well and didn't eat the glitter glue - winning. Next we both played around with the big round paint pads, let's just say we got purple everywhere. But after a couple of wipes we were good to go for the green. 



It was during our messy play that I realised that there weren't going to be many more of moments like this with her, she's three next weekend and is off to nursery in September. So I have to cherish and be grateful for all the ones we do have and look forward to her stories from nursery. On to some more sticking, glitter and feathers...What do you think of her creation? I do have to say this is one card, that I have let her loose one. I am learning not to be such a helicopter mum. I personally think it's probably the best one she's made, clever girly.
