Do you love bath fizzies or bath bombs? Our kids LOVE them but they are expensive. I was super excited to get a few at the MIXED Conference from the Dixie Crystals folks. They called them Sugar Bath Bombs. That name doesn’t go over well with my kids. If you have been following my instagram feed you saw that we gave these a try. The first try we ended up with bath fizzie muffins. They were too big. oops! We learned and tried again though and perfected Valentine’s Bath Fizzies as my kids call them. Oh and they have already been trying them in the tub and think they are great!
This is a great project to do with the kids for a gift for grandmas or even for dad to do as a gift for mom. Brian captured us working on this together. Yes, I am sporting a headband Matthew made for me while we were gone earlier that day. oh well.
As for the “recipe”, it isn’t mine so head over to the Dixie Crystals site to find it. I will note that you need Citric Acid
Oh and you will want Wilton Petite Silicone 12 Cavity Heart Pan
TIPS:
- Only fill the Wilton Silicone Heart Pan Mold halfway. They are thick molds and if you fill them all the way, they are too big and take a full night to dry.
- The dry time is about two hours not one hour. Once you think they are dry, flip the silicone mold over on a cookie sheet and tap the bottom of the mold. The fizzie should fall out. Perfection!
- If you want brighter colors, add more dye drops. The purple ones weren’t dark enough for the girls so we added another 4 drops of purple McCormick purple dye (for a total of 8 drops) and they came out a perfect purple color! I wish we had added more to the red to more the pink a bolder pink! Next time!!
Let us know if you try this project at your house. It is tons of fun. You will enjoy the Bath Fizzies and your wallet will enjoy the savings!
I am excited to make these. I always look for non-food activities during holidays. (I’m also buying stuff now and clicking on your links). 🙂
What a great project to do with the kids!
These are adorable and such a fun non-food gift! Pinning and planning to make these with my kids later! Thanks. 🙂
Love this idea, they are simply adorable! I would love you to share it and link up to my party. http://partypatisserie.com/2014/01/link-party/

Hi there! Wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your Valentine’s Bath Fizzies and have chosen it as one of my favorites from last week’s Shine a Spotlight Saturday link party. I’m getting the features organized for the next party and YOU will be featured :o) As always it starts Friday evening at 9 pm EST, and I’ve already PINed it to my Pinterest page. Thanks so much for linking up, and I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to share this week!
Awww thanks! We are thrilled you loved this crafty post! Can’t wait to check out the link party.
Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed
to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they
plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing
without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
