Bath Time is Fun When it Glows Blue!



 

 

Tonight, we had our second glow bath, this one was blue. Pretty cool, huh? The kids definitely thought so! 



 

 

The blue glow bath is quite a bit easier than the yellow one, at least I think so.

All I did is fill the tub with water like I normally would and added 5- 2 liter bottles of Tonic Water.

Turn the lights off and the Black Light(I picked mine up at Wal-Mart for under $11) on and you have yourself a Blue Glow Bath!

Make some glowing Bath Paint to go along with it.

I used a little bit of neon acrylic paint instead of food coloring, but neon food coloring would work too.

 

 

By the time the kids were finished with the bath paint, not only was the entire bathtub glowing, but so were they!

The beauty of it all is that it all washes off and goes down the drain!

Fun with Bath Paint!

My kids love to play in the bath!

Every once in awhile, I like to spice things up for them. Playing with bath paint has become a favorite for them and a favorite for me because it is quick, easy, and inexpensive to make. Everything you need can usually be found in dollar stores.

 

All you need is a can of shaving cream, food coloring, a paint brush, and containers to hold your "paint" in. I use a muffin tin that I picked up at the dollar store, it is great because it holds 6 colors in one tray, like a painters pallet.

 

Add the shaving cream to your muffin tin or containers. 

 

 

Add the food coloring to the shaving cream, I use 4 drops of each color to make my paint.

Since the muffin tin holds 6 colors, we do the 4 colors of food coloring-- Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue, and we make purple by adding 4 drops of red and 4 drops of blue. The sixth color I usually just leave white.

 

Ready for bath time!!

Afterwards, all the mess goes right down the drain!
