DIY: Colorful bath paints kids will love
Bath time with little ones can sometimes be a challenge, but these colorful bath paints can entice kids to get into the tub or shower.
Making these bath paints is quite easy and you can get the pigment powder online. It is safe to use as makeup, so you can use it to give color to your handmade paints without a problem.
How to make colorful bath paints
You will need:
- ½ cup clear dishwashing soap or no-tear baby shampoo
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Cosmetic grade mica pigment powder
Instructions
Step 1: In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and pigments.
Step 2: Stir in the liquid soap.
Step 3: Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Step 4: Have kids use the paint in the bathtub or shower. For best results, use sponge brushes. After bath time, close the containers and save until the next bath. The paint will settle, which is normal. Just stir it right before using again.
Tip: For more intense colors, like the ones in the photos, double this recipe.
