Today was the perfect day for our Decorate the Tree tubby. We had our Holiday Jam session tonight with our Music Together group so we did our tubby earlier in the day. I wish I would have caught the look on the little ones faces when I called them upstairs for a surprise and they spotted the tub all ready to go!
The best part about this tubby was that I had everything I needed at home! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that a wet piece of craft foam acts just like a bath decal - genius! Since my basement is filled with 10+ years of remnants from an elementary classroom I have a sheet or two of craft foam in my stash! In fact, I actually found these pre-cut ornaments and lights from an old craft project. I simply cut out the tree trunk and star. For the tree I used Crayola's washable finger paints. I tested it first to make sure it would indeed wash away and it did!
I did make some green peppermint bath paint for the kids by mixing - shaving cream, green food coloring, and peppermint extract together....
And I threw in some package bows to jazz up the bathwater.....
( These actually "stuck" to the wall as well when wet.)
The kiddos loved decorating their tree....
Who knew tubby could be so much fun!
Super easy to pull together and just as easy to clean up - simply turn on the shower and the Owl washed it all away for me, leaving no evidence of our tree decorating party behind!
