I love taking a nice, relaxing bath…who doesn’t, right?  Bubble bath’s and fizzies and salts, they are things I love to include to make my bath time more fun.  I know that Sophia agrees with me, and although Alex won’t admit it, when he does take a bath (rather than a manly shower) he likes some bubbles ;D

Now, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and bath ‘stuff’ is always a great gift for a valentine who loves a nice soak.  So, when we were perusing through some of our cookbooks, we decided to give this Bath Salt recipe from Barbara Beery’s Spa Princess Cookbook a try. These bath salts are so simple, even a toddler can do some helping!

If you want to try ‘em, you can get the book for full details, but here’s some highlights of what we did to make ours

What You Need:
-Epsom Salts
-Flavored Drink Mix Envelopes
-Food Coloring
-Barbara Beery’s Spa Princess Cookbook

To make them, we put our epsom salts into a plastic zipper bag, then added the other ingredients.  Then you just squish it all together in the bag—seriously, even a very young child can help with that part cuz squishing is easy and fun!

Here are pics of Soph doing her thing with this crafty recipe:
