How to Make Bubble Bath for Kids

Customize your own bubble bath.

Make bath time a breeze as you wash away grime with fresh, floral-scented bubbles. Start with a gentle baby wash or shampoo to keep the project quick and easy. Store the bubble bath mix in a squeeze bottle or choose a decorative, whimsical container and give this as a gift.

Things You'll Need

• Dried rose petals
• Dried lavender flower heads
• Natural baby shampoo or baby wash
• Lavender essential oil
• Bottle

Instructions

1. Place 2 tablespoons of dried rose petals and 2 tablespoons of dried lavender flower heads in a glass bowl that's safe for boiling water. Add 1 1/4 cups boiling water. Cover and allow the solution to seep 15 to 20 minutes.

2. Pour mixture through a strainer and into another bowl. Squeeze the liquid out of the petals and flower heads. Mix 1 1/4 cups natural baby shampoo and 12 drops lavender essential oil into the strained water. Pour into bottles and shake several minutes to combine.

3. Pour 3 tablespoons of bubble bath under running water to use.

Tips & Warnings
