Bath Painting


I have been wanting to do bath painting for a long time.  I found a good recipe for sensitive and baby friendly paint here, but I was still worried about the carpet in the bathroom. Who puts carpet in a kids bathroom?! So I've been putting off painting. Finally I got a towel out and covered the floor up to the tub. 

Paint recipe: 
1 part baby bubble bath/bath wash
3 parts baby powder
food coloring

How easy is that recipe. I just eye-balled the amounts. It worked out just fine. They seemed to enjoy it. We'll try this again when they aren't sick...

Quick Thoughts:
  • Really easy, pretty cheap.
  • Abby was eating it still. I may try one of the more edible recipes out there next time. Although I liked this one.
  • Abby's therapist wants me to help Abby do activities above her head to strengthen her shoulder muscles. So, I encouraged them to paint high on the walls. Mixed results. 
  • Very easy clean up. The towel didn't even get very wet or colored. The rest was just rinsing out the tub after the bath.
