Surprise Egg Bath Bombs

Easter… but make it CURIOUS ✨

🧪 What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup citric acid
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2–3 tbsp Epsom salt (optional but fancy ✨)
• 2–3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
• A few drops of water (VERY slowly!)
• Food coloring or mica powder
• Essential oils (optional – lavender, citrus, etc.)
• Small toys (tiny animals, gems, dinos, etc.)
• Plastic Easter eggs (your mold!)

🥄 What To Do:

1. Mix the dry ingredients
   In a big bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt.
2. Add color + scent
   Mix in your coloring and a few drops of essential oil.
3. Add liquid slowly
   Add melted coconut oil.
   Then VERY slowly mist or drip water in while mixing.
   👉 Texture should feel like damp sand — not fizzy!
4. Fill your eggs
   
   • Pack mixture into both sides of the plastic egg
   • Add a small toy in the center
   • Press both sides together tightly
6. Let them dry
   Leave in the mold for a few hours or overnight
7. Pop them out
   Gently remove from the plastic egg

✨ The Magic Moment:

Drop it in the bath…

🧠 Babe’s Fun Fact:

Bath bombs fizz because of a chemical reaction!

When baking soda and citric acid hit water, they create carbon dioxide gas — those are the bubbles you see!

😂 Bug’s Silly Input:

“So it’s like… a bath-time volcano… with a prize?!

I’m NEVER taking a boring bath again.”
