ingredients
8 tablespoons clear or white liquid soap

Let the kids play with the different colors in the tub, the colors will wash off both the tub and the kids!
You can also make up larger quantities of the bath paint and put them in squeeze bottles.
cook's notes
Do not get the colored bath paint on towels, bath rugs, etc. It only washes off skin and smooth surfaces such as bathtubs. Some unsealed grout may stain.
recipe tips
For added fun, use glow-in-the-dark or neon food coloring.
If you enjoy a bit of sparkle, add fine, skin-safe glitter to the paint.
Experiment with different soap bases, like scented or moisturizing soaps, or soaps for sensitive skin.
Make sure the coloring is completely mixed into the soap before using or any full-strength color that isn't mixed could stain skin or tile.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
