The girls did some online research to find some recipes to make the bath blasts above. They are deciding on names for their bath balls...frangipani sparkle and peppermint twinkle are the current favourite names :-) We have ordered more citric acid to make some more of these as gifts.
While they were busy researching, I set to making some castile soap based on directions from Wendyl that I read in her 'Home Companion' book. I can see lots of possiblities with this recipe but the test will be when we can actually use it in 3 weeks or so after it has fully dried out. I also think this batch will last quite a while to get through!
There was quite a bit of 'chemistry' learning going on for the kids with both of these recipes...saponification, acids, bases...
