I am really enjoying making things out of what I can find around the house and that I can do with the kids.
You will need
• 10 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda
• 3 tablespoons of citric acid
• Food colouring
• Sweet almond oil
• Scented oil (we used lavender oil)
• Small jar
• Mixing bowl
• Spoon
• Ice cube tray
What to do
1. Grease the sides and bases of your ice cube tray with a small amount of almond oil.
2. Place the citric acid and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Mix the ingredients together well, to form the base mixture.
3. In the small glass jar, mix together 6 drops of your scented oil, 5 teaspoons of sweet almond oil and about 10 drops of food colouring.
4. Gradually pour the oil mixture into the base mixture. Quickly mix it all together. The mixture is ready when it stays together in your hands without crumbling too much.
5. Spoon the mixture into the ice tray. Press it down firmly.
6. Leave the bombs in the tray to set for a few days.
7. Carefully up-end your bath bombs to remove them from the mould.
8. Ta da, you should have fizz when you pop them in a bath.
