My 3 year old loves bubble bath. No surprises there I'm sure, but trying to find some that doesn't have a ridiculously long list of chemical ingredients? Well it might surprise you how difficult that is.
I have found a great alternative way to make bath-time fun- Homemade bath bombs!
Kids love how they fizz and they leave a lovely layer of nourishing almond oil on the skin. If you like you can add rose petals or body glitter for extra fun. You can even add lavender oil as a 'before bed' relaxant if that suits your purposes.
They are also great for adults and make really nice gifts.
Here is the recipe:
* Brush the inside of a set of silicone moulds with almond oil. There are so many shapes to choose from- I like to use stars and have a mould with 6 stars approx 8cm across.
* In a glass bowl mix 10 tablespoons of bicarb soda and 3 tablespoons of citric acid.
* Then add 9 teaspoons of cold-pressed almond oil, 5 drops of whatever essential oil you like and 3-4 drops of food colouring if you like colour.
* Wearing rubber gloves, mix together thoroughly and pack firmly into the moulds.
* Put aside for 2-3 days to dry completely then remove carefully from the mould and add one to your bath.
* This recipe makes about 4 bath bombs.
Enjoy!!
