My children absolutely adore painting in our bathtub with homemade bath paint. Seriously, I have to use my count to three threat after an hour of bath paint time.

I have to admit, I started to dreading making this easy homemade bath paint recipe because it took up at least an hour for bath time.

Here’s our easy homemade bath paint recipe

• 1 c Baby Wash
• 1/2 c of Corn Starch
• Food Coloring – we like to use the neon colors, too
• muffin pan – we use silicon ones so they don’t rust

• Mix baby wash and corn starch in a bowl
• Pour mixture in individual muffin tins
• Add a 2-3 drops of food coloring to each muffin tin, and mix well
• Save leftovers in a plastic container. I leave it white so they can decide what colors they want next time.

This recipe makes 2 batches for our little ones.

Since my 4 and 7-year-old enjoy this bath activity so much, I decided to come up with a list of things I could do in the bathroom while still maintaining a close eye on them. Now please don’t email me and say how unsafe my parenting skills are. I advise you to not do this if you have infants or young toddlers. You understand my point, right!
