First, you mix 1 cup of baby shampoo with 5 TBSP of corn starch. Then separate that mixture into plastic cups (one cup for each color) and add food coloring until you have the color you want. I have no idea where this recipe came from but we have been using it for a few years now.
Next, get in the tub and paint! C and R used paint brushes, but you could also use shaped sponges and stamp different shapes on the tub walls.
R chose purple and C chose red. When they finished painting, they each dumped the rest of their mixture into the tub and created colorful bubble baths.
Surprisingly, this cleans up easily. You can also use this as a great color mixing activity.Be sure to check out the other recipes at Simply Made Sunday.

How fun! I used to buy the color bath fizzy things, but they are expensive. Plus, I hated the yellow ones, it looked like pee. LOL!
Oh, this looks like fun!!!
we love tub paint! it leaves your bath sparkly clean!
I saw the picture of the paint in the tub before I read the post, and said, "What in the world happened?!" thinking it was some bloody scene. Thanks for the recipe! This is going to save me from spending tons of money on Crayola bath crayons. To answer your question, I got Little Snail's whale dress from Gymboree. Can't remember what year though....
