I just wanted to pass on 1 thing to be sure you NEVER do with your own children.

Never allow your pre-schooler to have an old tube of lipstick in the bathtub to “contain” the mess. I thought it would be like face paints. A little difficult to scrub off, but lots of fun.

Instead, little pieces of the lipstick started to float around in the water. They then would stick to the skin of whoever is in the bathtub. (Yes I was in there too.)

I decided to just stand up and shower the lipstick off. Soap and scrub brushes did eventually work. But now my tub has little pieces of lipstick stuck all over. I have to wait until nap time to get it all out because it is such a mess.

So just a friendly note to all of you who may not have known the staying power of lipstick. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!

God Bless,
Maria
 
another thing never to do with old lipstick - don’t let your neighbor’s beagle, which you are taking care of, get hold of it (especially if you have a white rug) as the oily base acts on its system the way mineral oil does. Red mineral oil in this case. Not a pretty sight.

Another thing not to let a child have in the bathtub of warm water - several boxes of Mrs. Grass instant chicken noodle soup mix. We live and learn.

You should also be aware of the Red Crayon rule. If it is missing look for it, especially in pockets, as it inevitably gets into someone’s pocket and goes through the dryer. do not let this happen if you can’t stand the sight of a grown man weeping.

:rotfl:that is quite hilarious…
 
Thanks for the heads up!😃

One thing that is a lot of fun and a little less messy, is letting them use shaving cream in the tub.

I buy a 99 cent can of shaving cream, we smooth it on the wall and then use our fingers to draw in it.

When we’re done my kids just wipe it with a washcloth … Voila! Sparkly clean.😉

My kids love it!!

You weren’t the one trying to get Hanzel & Gretyl to peek in the oven, were you?
 
😃 Your story made me laugh!! That’s so funny.

And to think it won’t stay on your lips for longer than an hour! (for me, anyway)
 
I remember when our cocker spaniel ate a box of crayolas. Fortunately the mess was all outside, but we a had a colorful backyard for a few days.
 
how about…

Im babysitting and i hear “uncle chrismyster… can i use you studio to draw”… “go ahead, use the paper and pencils in the second drawer” i say - thinking that i am fostering a little creative expression in my little art protege… a half hour later i go to check on the little pipsqueak and there is $200 dollars worth of watercolors neatly squeezed from the tubes making my floor a mosiac patchwork of pretty hues.
