Soapy Shower Fingerpaint

This one is again from 350+ Free Activities For Toddlers.

We actually did this activity late last year, and the pics are all from then.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pure soap flakes (we used Lux)
3/4 cup water
electric mixer (or wire whisk)
Food colouring (optional)
Paintbrush
Spray bottle or shower hose

Method:

Use an electric mixer to mix the soap flakes, water and food colouring together until it's the texture of shaving cream. Then sit them in the bath or shower and let them go  nuts, painting and then squirting the foam off the walls.

CAUTION: You may want to investigate whether or not the food colouring will stain the grout! We only used very little pink, and it was fine, but you could hardly tell it was coloured.

This was great fun! A fantastic way to cool down on a hot Port Moresby afternoon, after running around outside!

Before....

.....after whipping it (whip it good)

 So as you can see, lots of fun was had. She stayed there quite happily for about 45 minutes painting the tiles, her bath book, herself....

Great activity!
