Why Potions in the Bath?
Making potions during bath time has several benefits:
- Motivation: Kids will be excited to take a bath knowing they can play with magical potions.
- Creativity: It gives children the chance to use their imagination and create their own magical concoctions.

Step-by-Step Guide
- Preparation: Make sure the bath is clean and fill it with water at a comfortable temperature. Place the bowls and cups on the edge of the bath within reach of the children.
- Get the Ingredients Ready: Place the non-toxic ingredients in separate containers. This makes it easy for the kids to make their potions without too much spillage.
- Creating Magic: Let the kids choose their favorite ingredients and mix them together in the containers. They can experiment with different combinations to see what happens. Adding water to a mixture of baking soda and citric acid creates a fizzy reaction that is sure to impress!
