Mommy and Me Sugar Scrub Making Party : A Great Homemade Gift Idea

Home-made gifts come from the heart. These sugar scrubs are not only made with love, but extremely useful and delicious smelling. They would be a great gift for kids to make.

Get Ready for the Sugar Scrub Making Party

Gather enough supplies for a small group and invite your friends over for a mommy and me sugar scrub making party!

I would do this activity with kids ages 5 and up.  Younger children may be able to help with parent assistance.  You know your kid the best!

Step 1: Purchase and order the supplies depending on the recipe you select.

  • Sugar
  • Essential Oils (optional)
  • Grapeseed Oil
  • Mix-ins
  • Cute Containersfor Storage 
  • Ribbon

Step 2: Send invite via e-mail or call friends.

This get-together is perfect for a group of 3-5 grade schoolers and their moms.

Step 3: Day of: Set out a sugar scrub making station.

Include

  • a Large bowl
  • mixing spoon
  • liquid measuring cup
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • ingredients for the recipe
  • paper towels

Step 4: Make the sugar scrub according to the directions.

Step 5: Package the sugar scrub.

  1. Put the sugar scrub into the containers.
  2. Top with a label.
  3. Tie a cute bow around it.

Here is how Dixie Crystals set out their scrub station for 200+ women.  You could do something similar with your small group.  Make sure the area is wipeable.  I would recommend using a vinyl tablecloth if you have one available.
