For a unique addition to your child’s Easter basket this year you can make your own fizzy bath bombs right at home.
To get started you will need:
Plastic Filler Easter Eggs
3 lbs Citric Acid
6 lbs Baking Soda
8oz Artisan Bath Salts with the color & scent of your choice
Water in a spray bottle
2 Empty Egg Cartons
In a large bowl, blend the citric acid, baking soda and salt. Spray just a little water onto dry ingredients until the mixture becomes tacky. Be careful to add only just enough water to make the mixture tacky.
Pack the mixture into each side (adding a little extra in the center) of the plastic eggs and close the egg back up. Let the mixture sit in the eggs for about 5-10 minutes to allow the bath bombs to mold.
Carefully hold the plastic egg and pull off the top half, then remove the bath bomb slowly from the bottom half of the egg shell. Place the bath bombs in an egg carton and allow to dry completely by leaving them out overnight.
To use: Drop one bath bomb into a tub of warm water and watch them work their magic!
*Yields about two dozen eggs
