Want to thrill your rainbow-loving child? Or maybe you need an extra incentive to coax your water resistant child into the tub. In any case, give this rainbow bath bomb a try.

The white cloud melts in water, releasing a rainbow of colors. Each color comes out of the bottom of the cloud, making an actual rainbow on the surface of the water. While you could use this bomb in the sink, you really need a tub or small wading pool to get the full effect. It takes about five minutes for the entire color to come out, so it can definitely buy you some time, assuming you can resist watching for yourself.

It makes a great gift for almost any kid, especially paired with a container of bath colors. My daughter currently lists her favorite color as rainbow, but both my boys loved watching this bath bomb as well. It also comes with a pleasant scent, and while neither the color nor fragrance upset any of my kids’ sensitive skin, I can’t guarantee it won’t bother anyone else.

The bomb propels itself as the colors release, so it works best with calm kids. Surprisingly enough, even with two kids in the tub, my active eight and six year old managed to remain still and get the full effect. The colors don’t stain the tub or your child, so you get the full spectrum without any unpleasant side effects.

Of course, once all the colors come out, and the cloud melts away, you have a tub of grey water. But in the meantime, before the storm shade of all that mixed colors appears, kids and adults alike can enjoy watching the colors emerge in this favorite pattern.
