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


Material

  • 1/4c Corn flour
  • Baby shampoo
  • Food dye

Method

  1. Pour corn flour into a bowl.
  2. Slowly add shampoo until you get a paint like consistency.
  3. Divide mixture into containers. I use an ice cube tray
  4. Add a small amount of food dye into each container. Stir to mix
  5. Take into the bath tub with pain brushes and have fun.
  6. 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.

  • 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!

  • Sounds like fun! Not sure about the mess though!!


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

  • I’ve often wondered if bath paints using food colouring leave colour on the kids (since it always hangs around for days on my hands when I use it for cooking!) Great to hear it doesn’t.
    Will give this a go!

  • One of my nieces has a daughter who fights tooth & nail every time she has to have a bath. I’ll have to print this out for her, and see if her Little Miss will willingly go into the bath if it’s a bit more fun.
