This was their idea. Any excuse to paint in the bath! I was happy as they have fun, work on mark-making and it’s an easy clean up afterwards.

Resources

  • Bath
  • Paint – green and red
  • Paintbrushes/Rollers/Sponges

Method

Step 1: Run a bubbly bath, provide the paint and get creating. I didn’t ask the boys to paint their names, they just enjoy it.

Step 2: Wash their creations off, either by hand or using the shower head. This bit can be as much fun as the painting!
