Get kids into the bath voluntarily is easy with homemade bath paints 
(01/03/2010)
For many families, bath time can become an all out war between parent and child, with kids doing everything possible to avoid having a wash. The key to getting kids into the bath voluntarily is simple, make bath time fun with whipped bath paints!
Homemade bath paints are not only easy and cheap to make, but kids will love the colours and foamy texture, and they’ll be washing at the same time because the paints are made from Soap Flakes.
To make bath paints, simply add 100ml of water to 50g of Soap Flakes, and whisk until the mixture has the consistency of beaten egg whites. Spoon the mixture into plastic cups and add food colouring as desired. Then let your little angels get to work on the side of the bath tub!
After using bath paints it is recommended to clean your bath with White Vinegar to remove any colour residue. Any acidic cleaners should be used with caution on vitreous enamel surfaces.
Soap Flakes are produced by Dri-Pak and are available for a RRP of £1.50 from supermarkets, independent stores and from Dri-Pak directly.
