Kids bath paint recipe:

Notes: After trying different brushes, I found the sponge brushes to work the best with this paint. Also, this paint will settle if stored but can be stirred before use.

STEP 1: Get your supplies ready.

To start making this bath paint recipe, make sure you have all the supplies ready and prepare your workstation!

STEP 2: Mix your ingredients!

Once you’re ready, start by mixing the cornstarch with the pigments you’ve chosen to use for this recipe. I recommend using a small bowl for each colour, to keep things tidy. 

STEP 3: Add the soap.

Add the liquid soap and stir the mixture and you’re bath paint is ready to be played with! If you want to get the exact results like the ones in my pictures, make sure to double the amounts listed.

STEP 4: Bathtime!

To keep this paint mix good for a few baths, store it in an airtight container at room temperature and stir it before use.

I found the best tool to use this paint with are sponges or sponge paintbrushes. They were so much better and easier to work with than regular paint brushes, but you should experiment to see which you like more.

This kids bath paint recipe is such a wonderful way to get little ones excited to have a bath.
We hope you and your little ones enjoy this homemade bath paint as much as we do!
