Bath Paints

Sure, you could go to Target or ToysRus and buy a set of bath paints for your kid. But that's only if you want to spend money on something that you could make with items you probably already have in your home. Not to mention, we have used the store bought bath paints before and, honestly, they were kinda sad. It was basically a colored gel that, when painted on the tub, looked more like lumpy goop that hardly had any color to it at all. We have also tried store bought bath crayons which have great color and are a lot of fun, but they are a pain in the butt to wash off!

I just so happen to have a solution: homemade bath paints! It's inexpensive and easy to make, and it is super easy to wash off your tub (or your kid) when you are done! Here is what you need:

• Conditioner--I always use up my shampoo before my conditioner is all gone, so admittedly I have a few half bottles of conditioner stashed away. These worked perfectly for this project! You could also just buy a bottle at the dollar store if you're not a conditioner hoarder like me.
• Food coloring
• A squeeze bottle--You can typically find these at the dollar store. Or you can always wash out an old ketchup or mustard bottle and use that instead.

Simply mix the conditioner and food coloring in a squeeze bottle and let your kid go to town! My son had a blast squirting "paint" all over the tub and himself. I also gave him a paintbrush to use so he could paint all round the bathtub walls. So simple. So much fun. And in the end, his skin was silky soft from all the conditioner! ^_^
