DIY bath bomb

This week we made some bath bombs with my 3 years old. It was the very first time we tried to make bath bombs and I was really pleased with the result. I'm trying to add some little twists in our everyday moments to keep our days entertaining during the coronavirus lockdown. Bath time is a simple part of the day that we can spice up with some music, different toys, food colorings, bubbles, balloons... Make it like a little surprise to keep the children exiting to see what's today's bath is going to be.

The process is pretty simple:

You mix all the dry together then add you oils, mix everything together, and spray a bit of water to have a texture that allows you to make a ball or shape it in a mold.

It is a nice sensory activity for the child to do all the mixing with his little hands. Then it is fun to see what it does in the bath.
