This was pretty fun. I found this idea on Pinterest. The lady who did it used food coloring to dye her shaving cream, but several people commented that it stained their tub and made their kids look like they were all bruised up. So I opted to use Crayola washable paint. I just put a little bit in and mixed it up and it worked great.
Reese had a good time. She is not super into art still, but she loved to be naked :) I did not put any water in the tub because I did not want her to slip. She had fun climbing around painting the walls, tub and eventually herself. I just let her use 2 old basting brushes from my kitchen. (everything was thoroughly sanitized afterwards of course.
Clean up was easy. Just turned on the shower. I needed to clean the tub anyway so I gave it a scrub later that day and there was no staining on the tub or Reese. It must have stuck a note with her because she keeps asking my for paint brushes. Then she carries them around the house 'painting' things. She did it at my parents too. So this one is definitely a winner.
We did this with Vince, as well, and he loved it! Only I put food coloring in instead of the paint. I wish I would have thought of that before hand!
