Bathtub Paints

Despite the many tub toys that our household has aquired- I still seem to have a hard time getting my kids in the tub.  So I was delighted when I found this awesome bath paint recipe on Pinterest!  Making the paints was quite simple and is an activity on it's own; as the children had a blast helping with the measuring, mixing and making of the colours!   Although, I must warn you guys- due to the use of food colouring, it can stain your kid's skin, so don't use close to family photos or special events!

Ocular Motor- Transfering thoughts to visuals.
Social Skills- Following a recipe and directions, taking turns, sharing paints and trading tools.

Educational loses a cupcake due to the lack of structure but over all can be as educational as you make it.
Tidy loses a cupcake due to the use of food colouring and the potenial for mess during the making of the paint, but gets 5 cupcakes because the project is contained to the tub.
Clean up loses a cupcake only because the food coloring stained a little spot on my babie's head..... so we are still cleaning that one up 3 days after the fact! lol

    I am a wife and a mother of 3. 5 if you include my asshole cats. But that is another story.  Here I share my favorite crafts, printables and activities that can be done with children. This is probably the most active page of mine, as being a mother is full time and as much as I love cosmetics etc. Recording the videos is a challenge to say the least with 3 little ones running around!  To learn more about me and my family click the pic above!!
