How to Make Bath Bombs with Kids
Fun Hands on Activities with Kids
Create Colorful and Fizzy Bath Bombs with Your Little Scientists!
Main Idea
Children also enjoy taking a bath with fizzy bath bombs! We found a great YouTube video that shows how easy it is, so we decided to try it.
Activity Prep
(What we used)
We followed the recipe from this YouTube video, which was easy to understand and follow.
How We Made
We started by gathering all the dry ingredients. Our baking soda was hard and clumpy, so we sifted it to make it finer. Since we used citric acid, we wore safety glasses to protect our eyes, just in case.
We mixed all the dry ingredients.
We chose to make the bath bombs green and lavender-scented. They smell so good and soothing!
After finishing the mixing, it was time to mold them. We shaped some into balls using a soap mold and others into egg shapes with my son's plastic Easter eggs.
We recommend waiting long enough. We got too excited and didn't wait long enough, so some broke apart. Most of the bath bombs came out very nice, though!
We used them for bath time, and it worked!
You can explain to your child why it gets fizzy when you use a bath bomb in the bathtub. The fizzing effect of a bath bomb in water happens because of a chemical reaction between citric acid and baking soda when they touch the water. Then, this reaction produces carbon dioxide (CO₂), which creates the fizzing bubbles they see!
