candy bomb

  • Experience making "bath bombs" (bath salts) conducted by a mom living in Hokuryu Town.
  • Mix baking soda: citric acid: salt 2:1:2 and mix with water using a mist sprayer. Put it in a mold, press it down and leave it for a few minutes to dry.

It looks simple, but the degree of hardening depends on the humidity, temperature, and amount of water. We had to repeat trial and error until we succeeded. It was really hard work. I am glad that local children came and enjoyed the event today.
