Quick bath time paints - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Hello!

Quick bath time paints

A quick and easy way to make bath time fun using household ingredients.

Material

1/4c Corn flour
Baby shampoo
Food dye

Method

Pour corn flour into a bowl.
Slowly add shampoo until you get a paint like consistency.
Divide mixture into containers. I use an ice cube tray
Add a small amount of food dye into each container. Stir to mix
Take into the bath tub with pain brushes and have fun.
Give the child a sponge and the clean up can be part of the fun too

Notes

I find this very helpful to get my pre-schooler into the bath when she is refusing to have one. It works every time.

Want other brilliant projects sent to you?

Definitely looks like lots of bath time fun, I’m not so sure on how easy the clean up will be though. Flour and moisture usually makes glue

We tried this today and the kids had a ball. My four year old loved it so much he is begging me to do it again tomorrow. It was very easy to clean up. The bath water was a pretty awful colour by the end though!

  Messy play is some of the best play – good for creativity.
