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!

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 |
