Are you as excited for Finding Dory Movie as I am? I bet you and the kids are! Last week, we shared this delicious blueberry ice cream recipe, inspired by Finding Dory. This week, I wanted to honor Nemo by making this body scrub! Why a body scrub? Because it smells so good and the layered colors are so cute! It can make a great gift idea or even a great party activity. The kids will be thrilled to make this homemade scrub recipe and bring it back home. It is a win-win situation: you keep them busy during the party, and you won’t have to prepare a loot bag ahead of time. The scrub will be their gift! I have tested this strategy before: kids make their own loot bag goodies, and it works wonders. Little ones are proud to bring back home their own creations. I don’t need to buy useless things for a loot bag and parents are happy! I cannot ask for more, can I? Now let’s get to the recipe details!

If you’re feeling apprehensive about using Kool-Aid in your DIY body scrub, you can also use food-grade orange food coloring (or mix yellow and red). Totally up to you, although the orange Kool-Aid does give it a more vibrant color. Looking for more Finding Dory fun? Be sure to check out our favorite Finding Dory Trivia & Movie Quotes!
