Making Lip Balm

It's that time of year in the midwest - the heat is cranked up, the house is drying up, every touch gives you an electric shock and your lips are soooo chapped.
A couple of years ago I bought a lip balm making kit and it sat on the shelf until Sunday.
My 6-year-old daughter, Ella, was very excited about this project to make lip balm. I was happy to see that it really was not that complicated a project.
We filled a shallow pan with about an inch of water and let it start to boil. Then in a small mason jar we put the ingredients - beeswax, shea butter and almond oil. We put the jar in the boiling water and stirred until it was melted. Then we added a little pepermint flavoring and a tiny shaving from a good quality lipstick for a little color and mixed it all together.
Then we poured the hot mixture into tubes and pots. We had to stick it back in the water a few times to remelt. The batch we made was 2 pots and 3 tubes. It looks like we can make about 4 more batches with the ingredients included in the kit.
It was a lot of fun and only took about a half hour. Now I have enough of "Ella's Beautiful Bunny Balm" around the house.
