Start by gathering all the materials. Help the kids measure out the dry ingredients and have the wet ones ready to go.
Pour all dry ingredients--baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid--into a mixing bowl. Have children mix these ingredients well with a mixing spoon or a wire whisk. Help children by drizzling in wet ingredients.
Let children use their hands to mix the ingredients. Once the mixture starts to hold together, it is ready to mold. If the mixture still feels too dry, add additional glycerin.
If using a mold, have children press the mixture into the mold, packing tightly. If no molds are available to use, children can press the mixture into balls using their hands.
Gently turn over molds and tap out bath bombs onto a tray covered in wax paper. Bath bombs molded by hand should also be placed on wax paper after they are formed. Place bath bombs in a dry spot and leave for 24 hours. The molded bath bombs can be misted with witch hazel spray to create a hard outside coating, which will protect bath bombs from breaking
