Bring your curious teen to an upbeat, sensory-friendly bath bomb workshop at Balmain Library where creativity meets self-care. This youth workshop guides participants through colourful, fragrant bath bomb making while encouraging confidence and imagination, perfect for middle school and high school kids.
Expect hands-on mixing, moulding and scenting activities led by experienced facilitators who keep safety and fun front of mind. The session is designed for ages 12–18 and uses library-supplied ingredients so parents don’t need to bring anything.
You’ll see teens learning a simple science-meets-craft process and walking away with several bath bombs to enjoy at home. This event is ideal for parents looking for engaging weekend activities, creative workshops for teens, and a relaxed library environment for learning.
The workshop runs for approximately two hours, beginning with a short safety briefing and ingredient overview, followed by guided steps to create, mould and decorate bath bombs. The approach blends craft and basic chemistry, making it an educational and fun craft activity for youth.
Children will work in small groups with facilitators on hand to help with measurements, scents and colours. All materials are provided and the activity emphasises creativity, sensory learning and self-care — great keywords for parents searching for bath bomb, workshop, youth craft or library events.
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that can handle a little colour or fragrance. The facilitators may take photographs of the session for promotion; parents who prefer their child not to be photographed can note this in the booking form.
