Bath time is one of those things than can go either way: either they love it or they hate it. I’ve been lucky that my kids have loved it so homemade bath paint is just a bonus fun around here.
It is simple to make, you probably have everything you need already in your house. You have the most important one: baby wash!
My favorite part is that since my kids love to paint themselves, they are cleaning themselves. Score!
Homemade Bath Paint

Ingredients:
- 5 tbsp of corn starch
- 1/2 cup of body wash
- food coloring
Simply mix 5 tbsp of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of baby wash together. It make a foam like texture.
You can mix the food color directly into the mix when you are making it, but then you are limited to one color. I divided it into 9 different colors, in this case using a foam egg carton.
The hardest thing about all this was mixing in the food color in such a small space. I used toothpicks to mix them up and only poked one hole through the foam. Not too bad.
I admit I was nervous about the food coloring, I didn’t want a purple child getting out of the tub nor did I want a purple tub. But no worries, it is all cleaned up easily, the bath paint cleans up from the tub and tub surround like a dream, I simply used our hand shower and to wash it all off.
How do you make bath time fun?

I hope they have fun! My girls were asking to have it at every bath!
Haha, so I made this and my son loved it so much he is also begging for it at every bath. Thanks for the easy recipe.

Lovely idea! I’m sure most children would enjoy this at bath time. Great that it cleans up easily too! 🙂
I don’t make it that often, so it’s also extra special that way too!
