We purchased bath crayons instead of making our own paints, but my daughter loved it! This is a good time to practice writing ABC's and 123's in a fun way.

This is really fun...we enjoyed the painting and I think the tub got cleaned in the process! Just make sure nobody rubs eyes, nose, mouth, etc. with "paint" on their hands!

Very cool alternative to the store-bought or bottled bathtub paints!
