You also need a place to put the colored cream. Angela suggests a muffin tin and only three drops of food coloring. She recommends inexpensive gel food coloring.

“I will say that this particular brand of shaving cream smells very manly, so if you use it with a little girl, she may want to wash off with something more girly smelling,” says Angela.

i LOVE this!!!! tonight’s bath will be so fun. thanks for the idea!
Yay! Hope it worked out well. Someone suggested this to me a couple of months ago and I sort of filed it away as something to look into. Then I saw it on Angela’s blog and knew I had a vacation coming up, so it was perfect to highlight as a guest post. Can’t wait to try it myself! Hope all is well with you.

Does the food coloring stain the kids?
According to my friend who wrote the post:
“To answer your question, no, the food coloring does not stain. It doesn’t stain the kids, the tub, nothing. I think once it’s mixed with the shaving cream, something must happen and it gets rid of the staining problem you get when you just have the food coloring only hitting your skin. ;)”
Have a great weekend Mila Marie!
