Fun recipes

My kids LOVE bathtub paints! Really love them. But they don't last long around our place, they like to use them all up! Some of them are harder to use than others so I was happy to find a recipe to make our own bathtub paints from http://www.recipezaar.com/:



Ingredients
1/3 cup mild clear Joy dishwashing soap
1 tablespoon cornstarch
food coloring

Directions

1 Mix cornstarch and liquid soap in bowl.
2 Pour into ice cube tray, filling about 1/2 full.
3 Put 4-8 drops of different food coloring colors into each
