An Easy Homemade Bath Bomb Recipe for kids with a surprise inside. This DIY bath bomb for kids is such a unique idea for the bath and leaves your children smelling great!

kids-bath-bomb-collage-frugal-coupon-living

Homemade Bath Bombs for the Kids

Nowadays bath bombs are all the rage at beauty product stores like Macy’s, Bath & Body Works, and Sephora but unfortunately they cost an arm and a leg. The going rate is about $9/bath bomb. WHAT? That’s crazy considering you can make 4 to 6 of these at home in 5 minutes for 1/2 the price! You won’t believe how easy these are to make! Get the kids involved in the process. Make it a mini science lesson to show what you can create by mixing certain liquids and solids. What an awesome evening activity too, add a little Peace & Calming Essential Oil to help support bedtime wind-down. Then, they can use the bombs the next night before bed. They’ll love it!

For some people creating a large bath bomb, similar to the ones you see in the stores, is their plan! For that you will need to get on Amazon or head to Michael’s and pick up some clear circle molds. For the sake of my time and money I simply used cupcake molds I had in my pantry.


You can do so much with this recipe the possibilities are endless! Add a layer of fun – In the middle add a little magic grow animal pill and when the bath bomb dissolves it expands into a dolphin for the kids to enjoy! Super fun! These are great for adults too. Add chemical free food coloring if you are making these special for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or Teacher Appreciation Gifts! Hosting a birthday party anytime soon? These would make wonderful party favors!


TIP: Have all your ingredients set out ahead of time and read through these directions first so you have an idea of how to do this accurately. This recipe is quick and super affordable. It will produce 4-6 small bath bombs in a cupcake mold or 2-3 large bath bombs in the circle form.

Bath Bombs Recipe for Kids

For this surprise bath bombs recipe for kids, you will need to following ingredients.


How to Make Bath Bombs for Kids

Just a few simple steps on how to make bath bombs for kids.

  1. Simply combined all of your dry ingredients, and whisk.
  2. In a separate bowl, combined all of your wet ingredients, and whisk.
  3. Very quickly mix the dry & wet ingredients together and whisk as fast as you can to avoid a reaction.
  4. Once you are done whisking all the ingredients together it will feel similar to damp sand.
  5. Place the mixture into your mold and pack it very full. If you are using a secret magic grow animal pill, place it in the middle of the mold as you pack!
  6. If they are in a flat mold (not ball) level off.
  7. Allow these to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  8. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!

All Purpose Cleaner DIY

Pin to Pinterest

Making your own all-purpose cleaner could not be easier, is cheaper and is so much safer than the chemical filled bottles you pick up at the store. 4 ingredients are all you need (and maybe a little elbow grease) to create a safe, effective, and wonderfully scented cleaner that can be used on counters, appliances, floors, or anywhere else you need to clean and disinfect. The scent is lovely, fresh, and bright!

Ingredients:



Directions:

  1. The first time you make this, purchase vinegar in the large glass bottle. When you need more Vinegar,  it is more cost effective to purchase it by the gallon and refill (earth friendly too).
  2. Pour all ingredients into a Spray Bottle. Plastic tends to erode so try a glass spray bottle if you are usuing this solution long term. A Mason Jar works great too.
  3. Swirl gently to combine.
  4. Spray and wipe.

Enjoy.

You will have an initial light vinegar scent after use but that will dissipate when the vinegar dries. Vinegar and oils will cut grease, disinfects, and deodorize surfaces.

I suggest testing this out on your counter tops and floors before use. I do not recommend it on Travertine or Marble.

DIY Party Beverage Tub with Cricut SVG Files

Make your own party beverage tub with these free SVG files for Cricut Design Space. This outdoor galvanized ice bucket has two optional messages “Chillin” or “Enjoy.” Also create your own vinyl personalized beverage tub and ice bucket with this step-by-step Cricut tutorial.

DIY Party Beverage Tub

DIY Party Beverage Tub in a backyard outdoors

In no time you can have a perfect Outdoor Beverage Tub. Using our free SVG files, add the summertime phrase “chillin” or “enjoy” to create a summertime drink bucket to keep your beverages cool.

Fill your DIY beverage tub with your favorite ice cold drinks, chill and enjoy (all the pun!)

Galvanized Beverage Tub

For this DIY Cricut Project, we used a Galvanized Beverage Tub similar to this one at Michaels or this one on Amazon. The reason we chose galvanized for our backyard beverage tub, was because it is known to have a protective zinc coating to prevent rusting, so they’re suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as well as, water exposure.


Another popular backyard beverage cooler is the Igloo Party Bucket Cooler. This double walled cooler has a foam insulated body to keep drinks cold but it will prevent condensation or “sweat” like unlined tubs. Whichever cooler you choose for your personalized beverage holder (ice bucket), make sure it has an area with a smooth surface to apply your Cricut vinyl summertime phrases – chillin or enjoy.

DIY Beverage Bucket

Materials

*If you do want to use transfer tape for this project, consider using Duck Brand Peel Clear Laminate as an alternative to Cricut transfer tape. Some people prefer this brand more.


Directions

Gather your supplies and in a few simple minutes, you will have your personalized beverage tub. This outdoor drink tub is perfect for a gathering or just for storing on your patio or deck for quick family get togethers.

Cricut Design Space

Open Cricut Design Space.

Click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.

Click on the “Upload” button from the toolbar and browse your downloaded files to insert the summertime SVG files – chillin or enjoy.

The cut image will appear on the canvas.

With the image selected, click on the “Attach” button to secure all parts of the image together for cutting.

vinyl summer crafts on cricut design space

Maintain the size or adjust to fit your ice bucket. To adjust the size, highlight the image and click on the size box in the top toolbar.

Change the measurement to suit your galvanized beverage tub size accordingly.

How to Print SVG Files

Select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.

Choose the Outdoor Vinyl, Permanent from the list of options in the drop down menu.

how to prepare cricut design mats

Place the Permanent Vinyl on the standard grip mat.

Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the vinyl.

Making the Beverage Bucket

Cut around the image(s) with a pair of scissors.

Using the weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.

Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the image.

Peel away the transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape on top of the cut image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.

Peel away the vinyl backing, leaving just the image adhered to the transfer tape. Trim transfer tape if needed.

diy galvanized beverage bucket using cricut maker vinyl svg files

Carefully consider the placement before applying as the permanent vinyl can’t be removed if placed incorrectly. Position the image with the transfer tape on to the beverage tub and press in place.

Press the image down with your fingers or with the Cricut scraping tool to help it to stick to the tub.

Slowly remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl image on the tub. Repeat with the other image on the opposite side of the tub if desired.

Fill the galvanized beverage bucket with your favorite drinks, chill and enjoy (all the pun!)
