Bathtub Paint and Fun!

one of our favorite new fun things is painting - in the bathtub! thanks to The Idea Room!
we stopped and got the ingredients on the way home one friday night:
muffin tin
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c. baby shampoo
4-5 drops of food coloring

after dinner Raymak helped me mix our concoction
my friend Karen ran a bath and got her in the tub.
then the painting party started!
we had a great time and there was a hilarious surprise at the end (thanks karen!)

when the tub drained.........she still had her shoes on!!!
