  1. Just did this tonight with my kiddos. They loved it and can’t wait to take a bath tomorrow night. Thanks for the fantastic idea. My kindergardener loved writing her site words in the paint when the wall was totally covered. Thanks again.

  2. Nice idea – I also wondered about whether food colouring would dye the tiles or grout….. Will have to give it a try sometime, sound like loads of fun!
