How Do You Make Bath Bombs With Children?
Making bath bombs with children is a fun way to get them involved with bath time or making gifts for friends, along with learning about measurement. There aren’t any difficult ingredients to work with, and bath bombs are kid-friendly. Gather all materials needed before starting to mix ingredients. Help children measure out dry ingredients and have the wet ones ready to use. Pour all dry ingredients–baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid–into a mixing bowl. Have children mix these ingredients well with a mixing spoon or a wire whisk. Help children by drizzling in wet ingredients. Let children use their hands to mix the ingredients. Once the mixture starts to hold together, it is ready to mold. If the mixture still feels too dry, add additional glycerin. If using a mold, have children press the mixture into the mold, packing tightly. If no molds are available to use, children can press the mixture into balls using their hands. Gently turn over molds and tap out bath bombs onto a tray
