Bath Crafts for Kids
A Cornucopia of Cleansing Fun
Once upon a time there was a little prince and princess with a lot of energy. They jumped on the royal sofas, threw balls and knocked down fine vases and fancy art, spread toys all over the palace floors and furniture, and generally made a big royal mess! The king and queen looked in horror at the destruction of their imperial palace.
Fortunately the queen, who was very beautiful and wise, had an inspiration! "Hear ye, hear ye children!" she announced loudly. "Thou shalt come to the imperial kitchen and we shall make majestic crafts together."
"Hooray!" exclaimed the little prince and princess together, as they ran to the kitchen. The king, queen, prince and princess made regal bath creations and had an overall awesome time. The end.
Sound familiar? If you have a little prince or princess that needs their creativity and energy channeled, then this workshop is for you! Learn how to make cleansing kids crafts like wiggly soap, bath paint, duckie soaps, bath sugar candy and more! Equipped with a quiver of crafty creativity, you can keep your little darlings busy and develop their fine motor skills. The best part of all? After you're done, they will be begging to take a bath to play with their cleansing works of art.

About the Designer:
Alia Diez
A former TV producer, Alia Einstein-Diez started making bath and body crafts soon after her daughter was born. Having always been hypersensitive to chemicals and fragrances in commercial products (even so-called 'natural' body products), when her baby turned out to be equally sensitive she started making her own soaps, herbal oils, butters, bath bombs and much more. Once she started, she couldn't stop! At first she gave all of her extra all-natural bath creations to friends and family. Finally, she started her own business Gaia's Kiss. A crafting maniac and passionate about all-things-hand-made, Alia is always looking for ways to add more crafting creativity to the business - such as making soap sacks, hand-made soap dishes, shaving mugs, and putting herbs she grows in her garden into her products. Alia lives in Denver with her husband, daughter, son and shetland sheepdog.
