Moon Township Library Offers Valentine’s Day Take-Home Bath Bomb Kit

Moon Township Public Library has rolled out a Teen Scene Craft Kit: DIY Bath Bombs aimed at students in grades 7–12, a seasonal at-home project that blends creativity and hands-on learning. The announcement, posted February 3, 2026, says teens can register online or by phone to pick up a Valentine’s Day–themed kit; “Pickup starts February 10.” To register, the library lists a phone number: 412-269-0334.

The library describes the offering simply: “Grades 7-12 can sign up to get fun at-home craft kit with the instructions and supplies you’ll need to create a Valentine’s Day themed bath bomb.” The announcement does not list an itemized contents list, so interested families and teens should call 412-269-0334 or use the library’s online registration option to confirm what the kit includes and whether there are limits on availability.

This take-home kit gives local teens an easy craft for Valentine’s Day and a low-barrier way to try basic bath-bomb chemistry at home. For context, popular DIY and soapmaking sites outline typical recipes and techniques that many kits mirror. STEAM Powered Family describes press-style moon molds as a visually rewarding technique and notes that “Moon press bath bombs are gorgeous little works of art.” STEAM Powered Family also recommends press practice and drying time and instructs crafters to “Allow your bath bombs to dry overnight on the tray or plate,” and provides step-by-step press technique including holding the moon press about 1/2 inch above the tray while releasing the handle.

Recipe and supply guidance from soapmaking suppliers offer more specific ingredient examples. Bramble Berry’s step-by-step material notes include mixing 2 ounces coconut oil with 9 mL Moon Child fragrance oil and 9 mL polysorbate 80 as a measured example, and its product listings suggest items such as Gold Sparkle Mica and 99% isopropyl alcohol. Soap Queen’s Crescent Moon Bath Bomb DIY gives a full recipe frame, for example, 2 cups sodium bicarbonate and 1 cup citric acid, and describes using a mica-and-isopropyl “mica paint” to finish designs. Both Bramble Berry and Soap Queen include the same cleanup caution: “Because these bath bombs contain quite a bit of mica and sparkle, they may leave some color behind on your tub. Mica clings onto dirt and grime, so giving your bath a quick wipe down before use will help prevent this. The polysorbate 80 also helps the mica disperse throughout the water rather than pooling on top. We don’t recommend skipping the polysorbate 80 for this recipe.”

Moon Township Public Library’s webpage also carries site elements inviting interaction and acknowledges outside funding; the footer names “funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services and through Library Access Funds administered by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, Department of Education, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf, Governor.” For teens and parents, the next step is practical: register online or call 412-269-0334 to reserve a kit, confirm pickup details, and ask whether the kit includes any ingredients that should be avoided for allergies or safety.
