After flipping through this book, it was clear we needed a spa program for our Make a Splash at your Library summer series. One thing I liked was that most of the ingredients were easy to get. I can't count how many times I've picked up a D.I.Y. spa book, and have no idea what I'm looking for.
Some of the fun things we made-
Molded Glycerine Soaps (we used different molds, food dyes, scents and even glitter to make all kinds of soaps...though you will need access to a microwave)
A popsicle mold, some oil and some sticks with your favorite colors and scents results in a soap you have to remind teens not to eat.
We also had fun with bath salts. We had asked staff to save jars and lids for a few months, which is always a good idea. You can use jars for all sorts of great projects. You will need a few mixing bowls and some trays to let your scents, oils and colors dry on your salts. Then you can mix them to make great gifts. Some teens added ribbons, some made hand printed labels, and some just left the jars as they were. They all looked great.
The book features bath bombs, after beach hair spray, foot scrub, chocolate bath soak...even a stress ball made with bird seed and balloons.
