Bathtime is a favorite of his, although sometimes he gets scared of the tub. He HATES the empty tub or water running in it. We learned early on- when he had a poop-explosion up his back and we'd hold him over the tub to rinse him off... oh, HE HATED THAT!
But I figured he'd like this, I don't know why. I think I'm really pushing art on him and he's not buying it. We just put a little water in the tub and sat him in there with these tub paints I made. Shaving cream mixed with food coloring = foamy bath tub fun. He was not impressed. I thought it was cool. And I'm sure any other kid would too. Oliver just wanted his hair washed.
See, I had fun with the paint.
"Dad! She's not listening! I want out!"
"Better."
What a neat idea. Did the food coloring stain anything? What king of shaving cream did you use? Just the white foam?
ReplyDeleteyup- just white foam- used my hubby's barbisol. The blue didn't rinse as easily as the other colors, the baby had blue on his arms for a minute but it ended up scrubbing off in his bath...nothing stained. The trick is not to put too much coloring. I think I made my blue a little to bright.
ReplyDeleteWow-- I love the colored shaving cream idea!
