I would like to introduce to you Courtney Stiver, she is sharing one of her valentine projects. Check it out and let me know what you think I always enjoy feedback KID FRIENDLY BATH BOMBS- VALENTINE’S DAY STYLE! COURTNEY STIVER THE CRUNCHY MINIMALIST Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that people either LOVE or hate. For me, it's a total love. Growing up, my mother always made sure to celebrate each and every special occasion in the biggest way possible. This didn't always mean spending a fortune on new and unnecessary toys and clothes but by spending time together- decorating, making a big dinner and enjoying the day together as a family. Now, as a mother myself I enjoy celebrating with my children in the same way my own mother did. Holidays are exciting; they give us something to look forward to in the midst of the everyday busy lives we live. I'm not sure I've met anyone who hasn't enjoyed a celebration and for children- celebrations are almost magical. A tradition that I've carried from my mother is a hands-on craft to celebrate the day. Some of my fondest memories are being in the kitchen with my mom getting our hands dirty and spending time together. It didn't exactly matter what we were making or doing, what mattered most was that she let us help, she let us learn with our hands, she let us be kids. Valentine's Day is about loving yourself, loving others, doing something you love- and for my kids, that's bath time! One of our favorite hands-on and safe DIY crafts is bath bomb making. Taking a bath is without a doubt our favorite time of the day- throw a bath bomb in there and it's almost impossible to get them out before their fingers start to wrinkle. The scents are amazing, the colors are captivating and the possibilities are endless. Below you'll find the step by step instructions on how to make your very own Valentine's Day bath bomb. While fun, keeping my children safe and healthy is my top priority. All off the ingredients in these bath bombs are all natural and/or organic and the best of quality. The links to each is included.

I used to do a lot of stuff like this with my nieces and nephew when they were little. These look really easy to make and a great project for little hands.
