Crackle Baff Colours is a bath powder in a pack of twelve that turns an ordinary tub into a small show. You sprinkle the powder over the bath water and within moments it starts to crackle and pop while the water takes on colour. The sound is like fizzing sweets, only at bathtub scale. For children who would rather play than wash, it is a solid reason to get into the water without an argument.

The pack holds twelve individually sealed sachets, which means twelve separate bath events you can spread over several weeks. The colours come assorted, for example blue, yellow, red and green, so no two baths look quite the same. The powder is made in China. It is certified biodegradable, skin-safe, stain-free and drain-safe, as well as dermatologically tested, vegan and recommended by the British Skin Foundation.

Every sachet is sealed on its own. You open only what you are using, and the rest waits in the cupboard for the next bath.

  • 12 individually sealed sachets of bath powder
  • Assorted colours, for example blue, yellow, red and green
  • Water crackles, pops and changes colour
  • Certified biodegradable, skin-safe and stain-free
  • Drain-safe, vegan and dermatologically tested
  • Made in China

The powder contains micro-crystals that burst on contact with water. That bursting is what you hear as crackling and popping, much like sherbet on the tongue. At the same time the colour dissolves and spreads through the water.

One sachet is enough for one bath. If you want more drama, sprinkle in several sachets at once: the sound gets louder and the colour stronger. Because the powder is stain-free and drain-safe, afterwards you simply rinse the tub through with water.

Crackle Baff Colours suits children who find sound, colour and water genuinely interesting, and it is often used as a sensory toy: noise, colour and water temperature all arrive at once. It is not meant for toddlers, and an adult is the better person to open the sachets in any case.

As a gift the pack plays several roles: a party favour at a birthday, a filler for an advent calendar or a Christmas stocking, an addition to a Christmas Eve box, or a small thank-you for visiting children. Twelve sachets split up easily between several children.

Sprinkle the powder once the tub is full and your child is already sitting in the water, so they catch the crackling from the first second. Open the sachet yourself and hold it low over the water, because the foil is thin and powder should not get into eyes.

In summer the effect works just as well in an inflatable paddling pool outdoors. For an advent calendar, set aside one sachet per door and you have twelve bath evenings with a programme. When several children share a bath, simply add a second sachet and the effect comes out stronger.

How does the crackling work? The powder contains micro-crystals that burst on contact with water. You hear that bursting as crackling and popping, much like fizzing sweets.

Does the powder stain the tub? It is stain-free and drain-safe. After the bath you simply rinse the tub through with water.

How many baths do twelve sachets cover? One sachet per bath, so twelve baths. You can also use several sachets at once, which makes the effect stronger.

Can children open the sachets themselves? An adult is better placed to help: the foil is thin and the powder should not get into eyes.

Is the 12-pack suitable as a gift? Yes, you can give the whole pack or split it into single sachets, for instance as party favours or advent calendar fillers.
