Bubble Bath

My oldest daughter has sensitive skin and cannot use most store bought bubble baths.  When she's in the mood for bubbles, we use our own home made version (we don't put any scent in it).  You can try different shampoos until you get the one with the perfect amount of foaminess for you!

Materials:

You can make double or triple the batches and give as gifts.

bullet1 cup shampoo (I like to use generic tear free baby shampoo)
bullet1 1/2 cups water
bulletfood color (optional)
bulletsqueeze bottles or jars (dish detergent bottles or shampoo bottles are my favorite)
 
bulletOptional:  1/2 tsp glycerin  (purchase at the drug store)
 
bulletOptional:  essential oil  (scented oils like vanilla or citrus) -- available at most craft stores (I also use them for candle making)
OR
bulletOptional:  a few drops of strong perfume (erm, this is a good use for some of the perfumes you might get for mother's day that you don't really wear much *grin*)

Directions:

bulletPour shampoo and water into your bottle.
 
bulletAdd a couple drops of food color
 
bulletOptional:  add glycerin and essential oil or perfume
 
bulletShake well to mix
 
bulletIt will get foamy when you shake it, but will settle down and look like bubble bath
 
bulletSqueeze a good amount into the tub as you are running the water.
