Most toddlers love to get messy. What better place for a messy activity than the bathtub?

  1. Mix all ingredients together for each color and store in covered containers. Mixture will last for a few weeks.
  2. Let your child use the paints to paint on his body or on the tub tiles. When bath time is over, the paint will rinse away.
