Colored Baths

One of the problems we encounter as parents with little ones is the dreaded "B" word.  That's right, I'm talking about the Bath!  Jellybean used to LOVE being in the tub, but now that her hair is super long and curly, she hates having it washed.  So we had to come up with some creative ways to get our little girl washed!  While blog surfing, I came across colored baths and the first time we used it, it was a hit!

SUPPLIES NEEDED

Food Coloring of Your Choice

Bathtub With Warm Water

One Child (Or As Many As You Have!)

1.  Get your tub set up as you usually would for your child.  

2.  Add about 15 drops of food coloring.

3.  Enjoy!

One of the great things about this idea is that it doesn't stain your child!  Jellybean LOVES it when we put red in because it turns the water a very pretty pink color, so she loves to have her pink bath.  It has been a great bargaining tool for getting her in the tub!  Everything right now is about Princesses and dresses and everything girly, so having a pink bath is very appealing for her!  Kids love it because it's out of the norm, and it entices them to stay in longer!  Usually, Jellybean is so busy playing in her pink water that she forgets that I'm washing her hair!  It's awesome!!
