Winter Blues?!?! Why Not Craft?!?!

Kids of all ages love spending creative, quality time with their parents. Even if you aren't the "crafty" type, the age of the internet provides even the most artistically talented with thousands of free, easy ideas that can be made with supplies (even trash) found around the house.

The site below is one of my favorite and has led to the creation of homemade bath paint....a HUGE hit kids of all ages! Check it out, and post any sites you enjoy to the comments section below.

bubble bath paint



You don't have to worry about kids painting themselves with this because it can be made with gentle, tear-free, baby wash. It only takes minutes to make too, which is always a bonus. Don't worry about this staining your tub walls either, it washes off easy with a damp rag. Try this out with your kiddos, they'll love you for it! Here's the 'recipe':

What you'll need (this was enough to make 4 containers):

1 cup baby bubble bath or body wash - as long as it is clear/white
4 tbsp cornstarch
a few drops of food colouring
small containers with lids

Directions:

1. in a mixing bowl mix together your bubble bath and cornstarch
2. pour this mixture into 4 small containers
3. pour a couple drops (you only want to use a couple drops so it won't stain) of food colouring in each container and mix well
4. your kids can use either paintbrushes or their hands to have fun in the tub
5. when you're done, snap on the lid and they're ready to go for next time
