If you are looking to bring fun to bath time, these DIY Lego Bath Fizzies are the perfect solution!

When my son was 4, I bought him one of those little Lego building sets. By this age, my son loves building things. He was always pulling things apart and putting things back together. He fell in love with the little Lego people. He was always switching their body parts around, mixing and matching. He would play for hours, building houses and cars.

If you are struggling with getting your child to love bath time, these DIY Lego Bath Fizzies are perfect. It gives them a chance to play with their hands, and find a surprise Lego in the middle. I use the little Lego people because that's what my son loves, but feel free to put other small toys in the center.

{Note} This is best for kiddos old enough to not put things in their mouth.

SUPPLIES

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup citric acid
  • Up to 2 tablespoons of water
  • Bath fizzie molds (I used the largest one from this exact set and it worked perfectly)

If you are looking to bring fun to bath time, these DIY Lego Bath Fizzies are the perfect solution!

Have everything measured and the molds out, double check that your Legos will fit into the center of the ball. You may need to bend their legs or adjust their arms…

Thoroughly mix together the citric acid and baking soda.

Very slowly pour in the water and mix with your hands. You want only enough water to give the baking soda and citric acid mixture a damp sand-like consistency that will hold together when squeezed.

Scoop up some of the mixture into one half of the mold and DO NOT pack down, then press your Lego into it, place more of the mixture on top. Then fill the other half of the mold with all of the rest of the mixture and quickly press the two halves together.

I find that if I use a slight twisting pressure in from both sides, it helps lock the two sides together.

*If your Lego (or other toy) is too large, there may not be quiet enough surface space for the two sides to bond together.

You should be able to carefully and easily remove the molds from the bath fizzie.

If it is sticking, you can use a wood or silicone spoon to gently tap on the molds to try to help loosen them.

Sometimes they stick for no reason, and you may need to start over. If your mixture is starting to dry a bit, you can simply add a *tiny* bit of water to rehydrate.

Too much water will cause them to constantly expand and never hold that classic bath fizzie shape.

Allow the fizzies to air dry in a sunny place until completely solid, depending on humidity this may be 24 to 48 hours.

They’re done when they seem breakable in a glass way, sounding and feeling crusty.

When ready to enjoy, simply let your child add it to the water and be surprised by the center
