materials: -bath salt or sea salt or epsom salt ( i do this recipe with epsom salt but i think it would also work with bath salt or sea salt. you can purchase any of these salts at your local drug store.)
-food colouring (color of your choice)
-empty jar ( jam jars will word just fine)
-spoon

steps:
-first pore the salt into the jar to measure how much salt you will need
-then pore the salt into a bowl
-start of with drdropping drops of food cocolouringnto the salt
( depending on how big your jar is you may not need to much food colouring)
-mix salt and food colouring
-increasingly add more food colouring (be careful to not add to much!)
-after you are ALL done mixing, pore salt into jar
-Happy Mothers Day!

*note: your salt should only be a light colr, not a dark color. so it should look like this: http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/2070677/DSCF0003-main_Full.jpg (if you used red food colouring)
