You will need a few basic ingredients and supplies, bath bomb molds, a spray bottle, and essential oils for this recipe. Citric acid will lose potency over time and may cause the bath bomb not to fizz as well if it is older than 6 months. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STORE BATH BOMBS? Then, in a bowl, combine 1/3 teaspoon of mica powder with 1 teaspoon of isopropyl alcohol and stir it together. Using a small paintbrush, let them design the bath bombs. ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HOMEMADE BATH BOMBS My daughter loves to help me with all of my DIY’s and anytime she gets involved, so does the mica powder. Mica powder is what we use for a natural coloring. Here’s an easy bath bomb recipe for children. Follow the method below and find out how we have adapted the recipe to make it simpler for children to do. These bath bombs are rainbow coloured too! We also explain the science behind why bath bombs fizz. You can buy our Bath Bomb Kits too!
If, after the bath bomb has dried, it is crumbly, this means you did not add enough oil to bind to ingredients together. Remember it is supposed to resemble damp sand (the kind of sand that is good for making sandcastles) before you press it into the mould. Please don’t use food coloring. Your tub will likely stain with the red or blue and no one wants that. Add the EZ color mixture to the container with the baking soda. Then mix thoroughly to bring the color out.Once you get the hang of the recipe and try it a few times, you’ll find it’s really quite simple to make these in any color. There are numerous mould designs on the market, these can be quite pricey. We use paper ramekins as we make a lot of bath bombs with kids and they take their bath bomb home in their moulds. For making bath bombs at home, any small mould will do, no need to spend a fortune, although you will want to consider that you’ll need to get the bath bomb out easily when it has dried. I would recommend having more than one bath bomb mold, especially if you want to make a bunch at the same time.
My favorite essential oils to use for kids are lavender, wild orange, frankincense, and roman chamomile. These oils are very gentle on the skin and have wonderful benefits for little ones. ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS FOR BATH BOMBS RELAXING I have always wanted to come up with a bath bomb recipe for kids. My littles love to take baths in the big bathtub. We decided to try our hand at making rainbow bath bombs. Can you guess who’s idea that was? They turned out so cute and it was much easier than I expected. DIY BATH BOMBS FOR KIDS Rainbow bath bombs are made by separating the pre-mixed bath bomb mixture in small bowls and adding color.
Ingredients Needed for Rainbow Bath Bombs
A simple bath bomb any day of the week for an adult is nice, but I wanted to come up with a recipe that would make bathtime more enjoyable for kids who otherwise would frown on the idea of having a clean body. Now spritz the mixture twice with 99% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Mix thoroughly, then conduct a drop test. If the clump doesn’t hold together when dropped, then repeat the process until it does.
You could try and make the colour stripes vertical, or mix them altogether to create a different effect….its up to you! Mix five color embeds (red, yellow, green, blue and purple) in separate bowls, using a different bowl for each color. Put it into an airtight bag for storage or use it straight away. When you fancy a relaxing bath, drop your bomb into the bath and watch it bubble and fizz. Adding essential oils to bath bombs is a great way to disperse the oils into the air. Since this recipe is for kids, I reduced the amount of essential oils by one-half. Now cut the slices you just made in half. Then cut them in half again so you get four rainbow bar embeds per slice.Using a spray bottle, spray the mixture with water until the ingredients hold together when squeezed in your hands. Only do one spray at a time as you don’t want the mixture over-saturated. Open the bath bomb molds face up, add red to one side and blue to the other side. Only fill the mold a little over 1/3 full on each side.
I went for the traditional rainbow the first time. Add pink, purple, and white to a mold to make a unicorn bath bomb.
If you don’t have bath bomb molds, you can make fizzing bath salts. This recipe is similar to a bath bomb but requires no mold. HOW TO MAKE BATH BOMBS FOR KIDS We have a jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom, and tossing one of those little fizzers in can turn any bathtime into a tremendous time! Scoop out the red and put it into the mould/pot and push it down with you fingers until it is squashed into the bottom of the pot. Add the yellow on top, squish it down, then add the blue last, and press this down too. The colours should blend together a little to make orange and green layers thus creating a rainbow effect. With the state of the current political climate here in Virginia – THREE scandals! How is that even possible? – I’ve turned to watching funny dog videos on the internet for comic relief. I also completely purged my friends list on facebook. A purge that seemed to be the best recourse, not just to escape unpleasant political events, but also to avoid the daily negativity, drama and downright mean comments people often leave. My friends list is now comprised of just ten people. Those who I am closest with and that mean the most to me. Press the molds together tightly. Allow the bath bomb to sit in the mold for at least a few minutes, although a longer time would be better.
