What’s in Your Bathtub?

 

Did you know that today is National Bubble Bath Day?

There are many products you can use in your bathtub to create a lavish bubbly soak. 

As a mom, I definitely enjoy the pampered feeling of relaxing in a tub.

But a child’s view of taking a bath is often a completely different story.

If your kids aren’t thrilled with bath-time and don’t want to stay in long enough to get clean, here’s a great recipe for bubble blowing liquid from my book that you can make in a jiffy.  When your children take a bath, give them a plastic container of the bubble stuff with a wand to blow the bubbles with and you will probably have to pry them from the tub, fingers all wrinkly, because they won’t ever want to get out.

 

Homemade Bubble-Blowing Magic

You will need: ¼ cup baby shampoo, 1 cup water, plastic container with a lid and a pipe cleaner.

1.    Gently mix baby shampoo and water in the container.

2.    Bend one end of the pipe cleaner to form a loop…small loop – small bubbles…big loop – big bubbles.

3.    Dip the loop in the mixture, remove carefully and blow gently through the loop.
