Make Fizzy Salts
Fizzy salts are a kind of a mixture of bath salts and bath bombs, resulting in the texture of bath salts and the fizzing of bath bombs. They're the ultimate in bathing fun, as well as being easy and inexpensive to make. Also, if you have bored kids, they'll not only enjoy making these fizzy salts, but will enjoy bathing in them as well.

Tips
- You can find citric acid at hobby stores, pharmacies and also online. It is sometimes also in the baking section of the supermarket.
