Nothing Like A Christmas Bath To Bring A Smile To Your Child's Face!
Not only is this activity just plain fun anytime of the year, there are added health benefits! 
Epsom salt is used for healing, relaxation, better sleep, and adds magnesium to our bodies--a necessary mineral that most people are deficient in. Peppermint oil helps with digestion, headaches, respiratory problems, and a host of other things.
This is the PERFECT bath for a child or you, Momma, who has worked hard all day long!
What you'll need:
- Epsom Salt
- Peppermint Oil or a minty essential oil of your choosing. (We use Doterra's Breathe).
- Food Coloring or Colored Water Tablets. Go with red or green for Christmas colors!
Let's Get Started!
- Run warm bath water.
- Add a few drops of food coloring or the colored water tablets. Let your kiddo mix the colors around in the water. It's fun to watch the color swirl around!
- Add a small drop or two of the essential oil. Trust me, one or two drops is all you need.
- Add 1/2 to 1 cup of Epsom salt and let your kiddo mix in these "ice crystals" with their sweet little hands.
- Let your child soak for 20 minutes and enjoy their delightful Christmas Bath!
Tips: Christmas colors are great for this bath-time activity, but try blue for a wintry frozen bath! Play with different essential oils as well like lavender for a purple spring flower bath!
Not sure where to find some of the ingredients? Epsom salt will be in either the beauty/spa/facial/bath salts area of a local store or in the bandages/ankle wraps/band aides/splint section. I'm sure the aisles are named differently! lol :). For essential oils check your local natural store or even a vitamin shop like GNC or Vitamin World may carry them. You can also click the links I've provided in the context of this post to buy the oils and water colored tablets online.
Let me know how the Christmas Baths go!!
