DIY Bath Bombs with Toy Inside
DIY Bath Bombs with Toy Inside
- Baking soda
- Citric acid
- Coconut oil
- bath bomb molds
- mica powder in your choice color (we used sea wave)
- essential oils for scent (we used ylang-ylang, grapefruit, and eucalyptus radiata)
- Tiny toys (we got ours from Hobby Lobby)
how to make bath bombs
In a large bowl, combine baking soda and citric acid together and mix well. Add coconut oil and essential oils and work together, using your hands. I like to wear gloves for this part! Once the mix is the consistency of wet sand and starts to stick together it is ready to mold into bath bombs.
Use half of the mold and scoop up a heaping scoop of the mixture. Repeat with the other half of the mold. Don’t pack them in, just let them be heaping. Add your tiny toy into one half of the mold, then, press the two halves together and give them a gentle twist to lock them together.
Carefully open up the mold and see if your bath bomb is formed enough to remove it from the mold. You may need to let it sit for a few minutes and firm up.
Remove onto a tray and allow to sit undisturbed for 24 hours or until dry and firm. Store in a glass container or individual baggies for up to 6 mos.

- bath bomb molds
- mica powder in your choice color
- 20 drops essential oils for scent
- tiny toys

Add your tiny toy to the top of one of the halves, then, press the two halves together and give them a gentle twist to lock them together. Brush away any excess mixture that came out the sides.
- Let it sit for a few minutes and firm up. Then carefully open up the mold and see if your bath bomb is formed enough to remove it from the mold.If needed, you can add extra dry ingredients or coconut oil depending on if your mixture is too dry or too wet. This will vary depending on your local climate.
