In our previous bath bomb making activities( Mermaid and The Avengers) the kids learned about the chemical reaction that takes place to cause the fizz. The reaction between an acid and a base is facilitated by the addition of water. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is released in gaseous form, creating the loveable and enjoyable fizzy, bubbly bath bomb. In this bath bomb recipe the chemical reaction is between citric acid and cream of tartar (acids) and baking soda (base). If you live somewhere with high humidity or it is a rainy day, the bath bombs will take moisture from the air and could start reacting. This could result in frizzing or puffing up. Reduce the amount of liquid used in the making of the bath bombs and, if at all possible, chose a drier day to make them. Once made, ensure you store your bath bombs in an airtight container or wrap in plastic. CRUMBLY BATH BOMBS You should also use your bath bomb within a couple of months. It will start to lose its ability to react over time, and your bath bomb fizz will be a lot less impressive. Eventually it won’t fizz at all. In the world of Hogwarts the Hufflepuff House is definitely the least “showy”. Gryffindor is known for being brave, Slytherin is cunning, Ravenclaw is smart and Hufflepuff is kind. For some reason being kind is seen as the least important and I see so many kids not want to be in Hufflepuff.

Sometimes I write the articles using a non-Harry theme, but today I am sharing our magical interpretations of some tried and true bath bomb recipes! When the Harry Potter bath bomb is popped into the tub, it will fizz until a colour is revealed, giving you your Hogwarts House (sorry Hufflepuffs, it might look like you've done a wee in the bath). Another thing we learned while making this video is that you get better reactions the warmer the water. Hmmmm… I see a bath bomb scientific investigation in our future….They are cunning, ambitious and proud. Slytherin house has also produced more Dark Wizards than any other house. That doesn’t mean all Slytherin’s are evil, it simply means their drive and ambition needs a little extra guidance to ensure it is always tempered with kindness and empathy.

It’s kind of funny how the ideas build on themselves around here. I’ve been a HUGE fan of Harry Potter ever since I read Sorcerer’s Stone in 1999. About 5 years ago I started reading aloud the book to my kids. If I remember correctly, I got about 3 chapters in before my oldest, who was 7 at the time, took the book from me and devoured the whole thing in 3 days. He then went on to read the entire series three times over. That at the end of the day we can be ambitious, with tremendous drive and pride, but still hang onto our empathy and kindness. The best part is that the science behind bath bombs is fascinating and has lead to some really great experiments and discussions as we make these fun treats.

To make an ethical (or unethical) choice, it can change the arc of someone’s life and how they are judged by others. One choice can change so much. See what many people miss is the immense power of kindness and working hard and being loyal. At the end of the day we need so much more of that in our world. Think about how much better our world would be if the traits of Hufflepuff were celebrated and valued more than achievement, scores or goals. When you are ready to remove the eggs from the mold, put a plate on the bottom and gently flip it over. Tap on the eggs and twist the mold gently until they pop out.Cedric Diggory, who competes in the Tri-Wizard Tournament as the other Hogwarts representative. His story is filled with heart ache. It brought me to tears. If you are making bath bombs with your young witches and wizards I highly recommend turning it into a potions lesson.

That work hard.
