This DIY Halloween Bath Bomb Recipe is super easy to make and the kids are sure to be delighted when they see the skeleton pop out of the bubbling cauldron!

DIY Bath Bombs Are Wonderful Halloween Activity For Kids

This is an easy Halloween activity to involve your kids in as well.

I suggest an adult measure out the ingredients, but small hands love to mix them up.

Watch out for the bath and body coloring though because while it does wash off, it will get on their tiny hands.

Then allow them to press the mixture into the cauldron, add the skeleton and finish it off.

What fun they will have at bath time adding their own Halloween bath bomb to the tub and watching as it fizzes.

Scale

Ingredients

1/2 cup baking soda
1 cup citric acid
18 drops essential oil of your choice. I recommend Peppermint Essential Oil.
10 teaspoons sweet almond oil
Bath and body coloring (this is not the same as edible food coloring) – optional
Black plastic cauldron
Plastic skeletons

Instructions

Mix the baking soda and citric acid together in a large mixing bowl.
Add in the sweet almond oil.
Add in the essential oil.
Add in the bath and body coloring.
Use your hands to mix it all together. If it seems it is not holding together well, then add a little more sweet almond oil until you can form the mixture into a solid shape.
Press some of the bath bomb base you just made into the cauldron at a slight angle.
Place a plastic skeleton in the cauldron on top of the compressed bath bomb base.
Continue to add more of the bath bomb base, gently pressing it into the cauldron and around the skeleton until the cauldron is filled to just below the rim.
Set the cauldron aside to dry overnight so the bath bomb base hardens and stays intact inside the cauldron.
