Ingredients
4 oz Baking Soda
2 oz Corn Starch
2 oz Citric Acid
1 to 1 ½ tsp water

2 oz Coconut Oil

Mini Plastic Animal Toys

Aluminum Foil
How to
1. Whisk together dry ingredients, removing any clumps.
2. In a separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients. Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry, ensuring the mixture doesn’t fizz too much. Separate parts of the mixture to add different colors.
3. Pack the mixture into the egg mold, placing the toy in the center of the egg. If the mixture doesn’t hold well, add water and pack again.
4. Once the egg is packed, close and cover the mold with aluminum foil. Let the egg incubate overnight to dry.
5. Carefully take apart the mold and store the remaining bath fizzies in a cool, dry area.
6. Pop the fizzy in your child’s bath and allow it to fizz until it “hatches”, revealing the hidden toy animal inside! For even more fun, this recipe can be used with any of our OK For Kids blends.
