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.

Include

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 wipe able.  I would recommend using a vinyl tablecloth if you have one available.
