Here’s a handmade rainbow bath bomb idea that kids are sure to love! It’s very easy to make, so you can enjoy making it together with your child.
Put baking soda, citric acid, and color gel into a bag and mix well.

After that, let it dry and you’re done! Take it out of the mold and try popping it into the bath.
The colors will blend in the water and turn a bit dark or grayish, but that’s part of the fun—give it a try!
