Recipe 4 Soap Flowers

This is a fun and cute gift to make. I made flowers out of glycerin
soap. I colored and scented 3 different batches. Poured the melted
soap into a shallow pan (used 3 different ones for 3 soaps). When
these hardened I cut out a tulip, a heart and a daisy like flower. I
filled a terra cotta pot with bath bombs to act as soil. Then I put
the soap flowers on wooden skewers (for barbequing) and used silk
leaves for the leaves on the flowers. Then I put these in the soil. I
got my son to put his handprints on the pot and tied a ribbon around
it.

whole apple (picture or drawn) on the front and the letter a, p, p,
l, and e each written on one card. On the back of the a card put an
apple with one bite out of it. On the back of the first p card put an
apple with two bites taken out of it. Continue with three, four, and
five bites out of the apple. As you sing the song have kids turn over
the apple cards to reveal the bites.

Recipe 4 Citric Acid 4 Bath Bombs

Here is some information on Citric Acid, as well as where to get it:)

Citric acid:

Also Vitamin C. A white powder extracted from the juice of citrus and
other acidic fruits (such as lemons, limes, pineapples and
gooseberries). It's also produced by the fermentation of glucose.
Available at health food stores, often disguised as powdered vitamin
C, or any store that sells home canning supplies or wine making
supplies. It acts as a preservative - keeps the color in canned
foods, etc.
