Homemade scented bubble bath paints

Make your own scented bubble bath for kids. Tear free and safe for sensitive skin. We have used the shaving cream bath paints in the past but every time my daughter uses them she brakes out in a rash. So we had to stop using them in the bath.

I wanted to come up with something that they could paint with as well as makes bubbles in the bath. So you get a dual purpose out of it. Then the other night while washing them an idea clicked.


Mix a kool-aid packet and  Johnson's baby bath for sensitive skin together and you get a fun bath paint along with scented/colored bubble bath.

NOTE: We have used the Target brand as well and works good.

We used the paints to paint our Easter eggs for the bath, the great things about these paints are that you can wash it right off the foam and paint again.

For this bath we used craft foam I cut out the bunny shapes and eggs and the kids made bunny faces like we did at Christmas for our Frosty Bath and painted their eggs.

Kids ice art science

We have been waiting for cold temps to do a freezing project like we did last year. Well last night was our lucky night we had temps in the teens. So we gathered some fruit from the kitchen and cut it up.

"J" started putting it in the aluminum pan and said, "Mom we can make a rainbow". So that is what we did.

Materials:

Orange

Lemon

Lime

Blueberries

Cranberries

Water

Rope

Aluminum pan (disposable)

This project is fun for kids and also teaches them about floating, sinking and freezing. When placing the fruit in the pan you can talk about what fruits you think would sink and what ones would float when adding water. Then ask why?

"J" loves doing science projects. Last year we did an ice art as well be sure to check it out.

"J" was so excited about his rainbow ice art.

If your kids like to do science be sure to check out some of our other fun things we have done.

Rainbow colors and shapes learning bath

In the dollar section of Target they had these great laminated "Leap Frog" spin charts so I picked up 2 of them to practice shapes and colors with "C".

Then I was in the Dollar Tree and in their learning section they had 2 packets of foam shapes. So I got them as well.

This made for a very easy learning bath to put together for the kids.

I took all the shapes and let them float in the tub and placed some around the tub. Taped the learning chart up for them to spin. They were so excited when they came in. "J" said, "sissy we are going to play a game look" and pointed to the spin wheel. 

This set up is great for the bath, to make a learning center in the classroom or even make a floor game with it. Open ended learning for less then $3.00.

So "J" spun the wheel and would tell "C" what she needed to look for. It was so cute listening to them. "C" would hold the shape up or place it on the tray behind her. After she was done she started putting them on her saying, "momma stickers, stickers." The loved this bath.

With "J" we did counting and patterns so I would start a pattern and he would finish it. Also, he would find the number I called out and count the shapes.

This was a fun learning bath for the kids and lots of different ways you can do things. "J" asked could they do it again tomorrow night. Love when they ask to do fun learning again.

If you can't find the foam colored shapes at the Dollar Tree, you can always cut shapes out yourself with craft foam. Then just wet them and they stick to the bath walls and tub.

We love doing fun learning baths below are some of our favorite ones.

Make art with shapes

We had my cricut machine out the other day and was cutting out shapes and having fun. So today we explored and made a truck with shapes. I had J play with the shapes and asked him if he puts them together could he make something.

Then he placed them together and was so happy Mom, "look I can make a truck." So we then glues them on the paper after exploring.

All you need is different shapes, this is a fun project to do for learning shapes and colors.

Materials:
Different shapes
Glue or tape
