Tonight Gracen and I whipped up some insanely easy “paint” to amp up this evening’s bath time fun. The best news? It only contains two ingredients.
Before getting started, we rounded up a few things… Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Liquid Soap (ours is almond scented), some traditional liquid food colouring, a couple of paintbrushes, and some paint containers.
With our materials gathered, we got started by pouring some of our liquid soap into our containers.
Next, Gracen squeezed a few drops of food colouring into each.
And gently stirred the colour into the soap.
That’s it! Less than two minutes later and we were ready for bath time.
Once in the tub, Gracen happily painted the tiles with “numbers” and “zigzags” using her homemade paint. It was a messy, drippy, bubbly good time.
Another perk? We ended up with a blue and purple bubbly tub full of water.
And a squeaky clean toddler who smelled deliciously of almond.
When it came time for bed, we took the shower head down, gave the tiles a rinse, and watched all of our designs melt down the drain with almost no effort. I must admit, our white grout is tinted slightly pink and blue in a few places, but meh – it will fade with time. All in the name of good fun. ☺
Two Ingredient Bath Tub Paint
- 4 tablespoons of Dr. Bronner’s pure castile liquid soap
- 3 – 5 drops of liquid food colouring

Have fun!

Well, shoot. Got a little behind on my comments and missed the link up. Sorry about that, Julie! I’ll try to aim for next week. :)
Fun! I’ve not done bath paint like this.. we’ll be giving it a go! Thanks for linking up to Tuesday Tots. I’ll be featuring this on this weeks roundup so be sure to grab a featured button if you like :)
Awesome! Thanks, Debs. :)
This is a great idea, But can I do it with any other kind of soap or does it have to be that brand?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with any sort of liquid soap! If you give it a try, be sure to leave another comment and let me know how it goes, Carole. :)
