DIY Bath Soap for Kids
Recipe by Katie Weber
- Molds to make the soap (plastic cups work too)
- Cooking spray or coconut oil
- Pure solid glycerin soap (found in cubes at any craft store)
- Essential oils (its fun to let kids choose their favorites)
- Natural food coloring or soap dye (craft stores)
- Small plastic toys
Step 1 - Coat the inside of your molds/cups with oil or cooking spray.
Step 2 - This step is for adults because it involves hot liquids. Melt soap by placing cubes of soap in a measuring cup and microwave for 30 seconds - continue in 15 second intervals until the soap is melted.
Step 3 - Add in a few drops of food coloring/soap dye to reach your desired color. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4 - Add 6-8 drops of your essential of choice. For bath time we love Lavender, SleepyIze, StressAway, and Peace & Calming.
Step 5 - Carefully fill mold about 1/3 of the way full with the hot soap. Let cool for 20 minutes, and then place the small plastic toy on top of the mostly hardened soap.
Step 6 - Repeat Steps 2-4 to melt and color the remaining soap. Pour another layer of soap into the mold to cover the plastic toy.
Step 7 - Let cool for 2+ hours. Once completely cooled, turn the mold upside down and pop the soap out.
