When I first started off this blog, my younger sister told me I should do this activity. I finally got around to it. It fits perfect in our St. Patrick’s week. My husband started the bath while I mixed up the colors. This is just shaving cream mixed with food coloring. I then poked my head in the bathroom and said, “I forgot. Where did the leprechauns hide all their gold?” After they said at the end of the rainbow, I came in with this foamy bath paint. The kids had a blast decorating the walls and then had even more fun when they realized they could decorate themselves.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting! I love this idea. I’m pinning it!
Thanks, Janny! I’m glad you came by here too. I really hope you try it. They asked to do it again at tonight’s bath.
This idea sounds like a lot of fun. Have to give it a try pretty sure my kids are going to love it. Thanks for sharing
They will love it. You’ll have to let me know if you do it. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Cute activity! Do you think it would make my shower cleaner when they were done?
My poor shower. I’m always neglecting it when I do the cleaning rounds. My concern was that I’d dye the grout rainbow colors, but it turned out OK. Thanks so much for commenting.
What a fun idea, we used to add shaving foam to tempura paint to use on paper when the kids were little, this idea looks fun, it is nice that you can make such pretty colors with food coloring. Stopping by from TGIF link up. happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I did the tempura paint with shaving cream when I did my art ed class back in school. I’ve wanted to do that. Thanks for the reminder. I’m glad you stopped by here.
This looks like so much fun! I can’t wait to try it! I’m featuring this activity tonight in my rainbow-themed Sharing Saturday at http://PreschoolPowolPackets.blogspot.com! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for featuring me. I really appreciate it.
OOh, we’ve done this before and the kids have a BLAST! I love how you separated them in muffin tins – that makes a great color palette!

Thanks for commenting. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
Oh, I love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Would it look weird if I made some for myself? It looks like so much fun… well I guess I could share with my girls.
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality!
Not weird at all. I totally had the same thoughts. That and the glow stick bath we did seems pretty good to me.
How fun!! I love new bath ideas. Thanks for sharing at Sharing Saturday!! Hope you will share with us again this week!
Thanks so much, Carrie.
How much fun! Now I am going to have to run out and buy some shaving cream. Thanks for sharing!

Your daughter is adorable. The tea party looks like so much fun. Thanks so much for your comments. Have fun with this one.
We enjoyed this so much. They were giddy over it and it is now my new favorite bribe. “who wants to have a body paint bath tonight???”
It didn’t stain the tub at all, but it did stain the kids for 2 days, which they loved!
I love that! So glad they enjoyed it!
