Bathtub Finger Paint

Need something to make bath time more fun? Is it a fight to get the kid's in the tub for their baths? Well FRAZZLEDNANNY has an answer: Why not have fun, clean your tub and clean your child at the same time. You can now with this Bathtub Finger Paint. You will need: 1/3 cup of clear, mild liquid dish detergent (I like Dawn); 1 tablespoon of cornstarch; food coloring. Directions: Combine the dish liquid and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Once mixed well, divide into equal parts (depending on how many colors you want). You can use small bowls, ice-cube tray, baby food jars, or any other container you have available to you. I prefer the baby food jars so I can put the lids on any unused portions and save them for later. Next add your food coloring. One or two drops is all you need. Mix with a small spoon or a Popsicle stick. For easy clean-up, keep the finger painting inside the tub. Play games like tic-tac-toe, hangman, or draw pictures. You can also use the Bathtub Finger Paint as traditional finger painting. To clean-up, just wipe off. It's so easy the kid's can clean-up after themselves. What a great way to spend time with your children! Just think of the masterpieces they can make! Have fun and enjoy your children while they are still young. Listen for the music and take time to dance...
