I used bath foam…I got it in the children’s soaps/lotions section at Target and it came in a can. The foam kind of resembled shaving foam/gel for women. Of course, you could also use shaving foam; it is hypoallergenic in most cases….and it smells great, too.

And great idea about the scrapbook, Michie! I’m past the stage of making just baby albums….and I’m wanting to get more into “themed” albums, so this is a great idea!

Wow – that’s an impressive week! You did a lot of great activities. I always think about tons of fun activities, but have a problem following through with things, planning it all out, etc. Do you scrapbook? I think you could make a really cool “Unplugged” scrapbook. You could add to it every year. It’d be neat to see the different things you do each Unplugged week as the kids get older.
