This evening while daddy was at the temple, Izzy and I decided to try out our creative sides with some edible bath paint. It needed to be edible because although Izzy doesn't put everything in his mouth anymore, I still can't fully trust him not to put something in there just because I tell him not to. We searched pinterest to find some ideas for edible bath paint and found some good ones like plain or vanilla yogurt or whipped cream, but we decided to go with some good old fashioned vanilla pudding. I bought a big package of the instant variety at our local WalMart and whipped it up while Izzy was napping. I poured it into the individual holes of a muffin pan and added some food coloring to make it pretty. It ended up looking like this: For play time, I got Izzy all suited up in a swim diaper (because crazy things can happen if he plays naked in the tub for too long), added some paintbrushes to the pudding and just let him have at it. I showed him how to use the paintbrushes to color the sides of the tub and he figured out how to use his fingers to get the same effect. And yes, he ate his fair share of the paint so it's a good thing we went with an edible version. He painted for a little while but got super frustrated when he tried to stand up only to find that the tub was incredibly slippery which he didn't like in the least. However, my tub was very pretty and colorful by that point so it was okay. Clean up was incredibly easy as I just turned on the shower and rinsed off both Izzy and the tub at the same time and the pudding washed right off. Cost: $1
