Recipe
1 cup of cornstarch
2 cups skim milk powder 
1/2 cup baking soda (increase this amount if your water is hard)
1/2 cup oatmeal
Mix all ingredients in a blender until the consistency of fine powder. Add two or three tablespoons to your bath to soothe your soul and soften your skin. Prepare the recipe above and print your choice of free printables.

Directions:
Cut out the sachet patterns, fill out your name in the front, and fold in half along the center line. Reopen and fold the side flaps inside. Glue the side flaps to the back of the sachet using a glue stick or small amount of craft glue. Let dry.

Fold over the top flap to create a firm crease line. Add glue to this flap and a little glue to the front of the sachet where the flap will stick.

Carefully fill the sachet with two heaped tablespoons of Oatmeal Milk Bath powder, avoiding the wet glue on the flap area.

Fold the top flap using the formed crease line and stick down firmly.

Tip:Creasing the folds firmly before gluing is essential to keep the sachet nice and straight. Enjoy!

 
 

PAPER BAG EASTER BUNNY CRAFT

Materials:
1 lunch sack for 1 paper bag 
pink, white, and black construction paper 
scissors 
crayons 
paste 

Directions:
Cut a V notch at the top of each lunch sack. 
* Hint: Draw the V from the top opening of the sack with a pencil. 
Start at the top center and bring your notch down. This will form the ears. 

Close the bag and lie flat. 
Then cut your notch with both sides of the bag together. 
This will be the bunny ears. 

Cut out ear shapes with the white construction paper and glue onto "ear" of the bag. 
Cut a smaller piece in pink for the inside of the ear, or reverse the colors. It's your choice. 

Cut out a small triangle of pink for the nose and paste it in the center where a nose would go. 

Draw in your eyes or you could cut them from paper or even add wiggle eyes. 

Cut out a rectangle piece of black paper. Small in size about mustache size. Then make cuts from each side of the short end towards the center of the paper without cutting all the way through. Do this several times on each side to create whiskers. Paste this above the nose. 

Now draw two circle cheeks and connect the mouth from the 
cheeks to the nose like a kitty mouth. 

Open up bag and it can now be a bag to collect eggs from your 
class egg hunt or to take crafts home in and then use for center piece at home!
