Make Your Own Soap
ages 3-6
Supplies
Glycerin soap, molds (preferably silicone), small plastic toys to drop in as decoration, food coloring (optional), rubbing alcohol
Activity Detail
Making your own soap is a fun activity with the kids and can also make for great gifts. Note: It's a good idea to rub any toys you put into the soap with rubbing alcohol beforehand. Melt glycerin soap (found at any craft store) in a microwave safe bowl. Put a few drops of food coloring into the melted glycerin, if you want to make colored soap. Pour the glycerin into molds -- the silicone cupcake molds are a great choice. Drop in any small toys, like little plastic dinosaurs or dolls. Let cool, and then take the soap out. Your child now has an extra-special reason to enjoy bath time!

You can also add a scent to the soap, such as peppermint, lavendar, etc... Dried fruits, and/or flowers are also fun to add.

This is a great activity especially when you're teaching your child to wash his/her own hands. Having their own home-made soap on hand is a great incentive to help them wash up.

What a nice idea for holiday gifts or teacher appreciation gifts. This would also be a fun thing to do with your playgroup.
