Bubble Bath Dough
A fun and easy craft to create luxurious bubble bath dough for a delightful bathing experience.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup cream of tartar Can be substituted with baking powder.
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oil (coconut or olive) Other skin-safe oils can be used.
- 1/2 cup liquid soap (gentle, unscented) Regular soap may not produce as many bubbles.
- to taste essential oils (optional, for scent) Lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus recommended.
- to taste food coloring (optional) Use multiple colors for a rainbow effect.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, gather the baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together until fully combined.
- Gradually pour in the oil and liquid soap.
- If you’re using essential oils for scent, add a few drops now.
- Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- To add color, incorporate a few drops of food coloring.
- Mix well, ensuring the color is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Check the texture of your dough; it should hold together when squeezed.
- If too crumbly, add a tiny bit more oil or water until your desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer your bubble bath dough into an airtight container.
- Let it sit for a few hours to firm up before using or gifting.
Notes
Store the bubble bath dough in a cool, dry place. It can last for several weeks in an airtight container. Always conduct a patch test for sensitivity.
