Tub Painting

Such a fun and easy way to encourage creative exploration and play during bath time that is super easy to clean too!

We used a plastic veggie tray for our palate.

The kids helped me to squirt a bit of shaving cream in each section.


Using a few drops of food colouring, they chose different colour combinations to try.



We used paint brushes to stir the colours and shaving cream together to see what colours were created.


The tray actually floated on the water!


They had lots of fun painting all over themselves and the walls of the tub. (You might want to do a spot check the first time you paint to make sure the colour doesn't stain your tiles or grout.)


We used thick paint brushes this time but we've also tried other art tools like sponges.


Super easy to clean when done...just rinse the walls and tub with warm water. It smells great too!


This is easily modified for the classroom where children can paint in a half-filled water table, tiled wall and sink area, or the clear lid of a tactile table!
