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!
