Like I said in my previous post, Roo is learning about astronomy this year. She has been in love with all things space for quite some time, so when I saw this idea on a blog (Growing a Jeweled Rose), I knew we had to do it to kick off our amazing space adventure! What was it? Get ready because this was fantastic. . .
A GLOWING SPACE BATH!
I simply mixed fluorescent paint into shaving cream, lit up the black light, and let her go to town painting the bathtub. She nearly died from excitement!
I also added a ton of those glowing ceiling stars to the bath water to make it glow.
She smiled the entire time she was in the bath-almost an hour!
I love all of her little handprints!
She painted and painted until the shaving cream began to dry up.
Sadly, Phia was already in bed by the time we got around to this, but we will definitely be doing it again! It was super fun and an awesome sensory experience. Best of all, clean up was a snap! I simply turned on the shower and Roo washed the walls with a wash cloth and water! If you have a removable shower head, it would literally only take a minute or two to clean.

we will have to do this. whenever jacob gets glow sticks, he likes to put them in bathwater and have me turn off the lights. similar effect, but less fun for sure!
seriously, you have to do it! It was by far the coolest craft we've ever done. HUGE hit!
