BathTubPaint.

Today during bath time while babysitting my niece I decided to spice things up. I am a pinterest enthusiast so I continually saw these great ideas for bathtub painting. I figured why not go ahead and try it and while Miss J was eating breakfast, Aunt Stephie was making bath tub paint. The recipe is easy, and to be honest after knowing what the ingredients were I winged it a bit.

The rough directions (every receipt I found was different)
1 cup baby bubble bath (or shampoo as long as it is clear) (I used a mixture of both as there wasn't much left of either)
5 tbs corn starch
Food colouring (key part is to not add too much, we may currently have a blue tinted baby, OOPS!)

So mix them together, but them in baby friendly bowls and go to town. I made about half of this amount and it was more then enough. We are going to actually save it (in tupperware type containers) and use it for another bath time.

It was wonderful, after Miss J realized it doesn't go in your mouth. She had fun painting the walls of the tub and rubbing it all over herself. The great part was it wiped right off of the tub and had I not had such a strong blue it would have come right off the skin as well (You can hardly even tell). Another great part is that even though she may have taken a hand full and immediately put it in her mouth, it was ok for her to eat, not great for her, but not bad for her. She didn't mind it in her mouth, although she did manage to blow a few bubbles, and she was able to quickly realize that it didn't go in her mouth, but she didn't mind it.

So bath time today was even more fun then normal. I even enjoyed the goopy feeling and playing with it with Miss J. So I highly recommend trying it. I would not have done it with children any younger then what Miss J is so my only recommendation is ages 16 months plus. I personally cannot wait to do it again.

The finished paint product. If only you could see her tummy, it is all blue and she loves it!
