Tips for your kids bath paints
Store the bath paints in an airtight container once you've finished with them. Then stir well before you use them again.
Your kids can use either their fingers or a paint brush/brushes to paint onto the bath tub or shower wall.
If the bath paints are too thick add a little more water, or if they’re too runny add a little more cornflour to get the right consistency.
Your kids artwork can be washed off the bath once bath time is over and the mess will just go down the drain.
Kids can even use the paints as body paints to paint themselves!
If you are worried about your kids having a skin reaction, use a non-allergenic shampoo or body wash.
