I Love t
his idea and Cassie has already requested it at least 5 times in the past few weeks:
Shaving Cream Bathtub Paint!!! Very little preparation....each time we do this it has been very spontaneous! I saw this
idea over at this beautiful blog:
Meet The Dubiens and thought it was too good to be true....but it truly was a
HIT! Sometimes the most simple ideas produce the best results! All you need is some shaving cream, food coloring, paint brushes, and a container for the paint. We used a styrofoam egg carton which worked really well because it floated in the water as C painted! We've used this same egg carton over and over again! You could use any container such as a muffin tin, ice cube tray, or even separate containers. Add some shaving cream and a few drops of food color in each section...mix...and you are ready to paint!
Cassie didn't paint anything amazing, but she really had a good time exploring and playing!
She had some good clean fun! Don't worry the food coloring came off from my white tiles!
Cassie started painting all the features of the bathtub: the faucet, soap dish, and the circle above the drain. I suggested tic tac toe on the square tiles!
For a girl who
hates finger painting (she likes hand prints),
this was a
GREAT SOLUTION for exploring paint with her hands!!! Looks like there is finger painting going on here!!!!
***Stay tuned for more Bathtub fun...

Lovely!! We have mixed food colors to old sunscreens, body lotions etc and painted but never have tried shaving cream.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! No problem with staining? We have a stand alone tub for the boys - I wonder how he'd do at keeping it in the tub! ha! But I just have to try a bathtub paint! They always look like so much fun!

lovely, I think I might just have to lock myself in the bathroom and have some fun! thanks so much for sharing on Craft Schooling Sunday!
ReplyDeleteMadison was so surprised tonight when I made her the egg carton of shaving cream colored paints. She thought this was the coolest idea and that I was a rock star Mom for letting her do it. Thanks for the great tip. I loved that the egg carton floated!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I am definitely going to try this with my son. He will love it!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great idea. Can't wait to try this out. Thank you for blogging this, my toddler will LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteWow great idea - and I really love the egg box palette.
ReplyDeleteWe always use bath time as shaving cream time! We are going to do this one for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for linking up!
Awwww! We have to try this! :) Melissa, thanks for adding this idea to High paw! :)
ReplyDeleteI did this last night with my 20 month old, I was worried about the food coloring staining the tub (and him), so I used shaving cream and washable finger paint - it worked great and washed right off! The egg carton idea is wonderful though!
