Bath Crayons

Bath Crayons

This was a super easy project that my 3 year old and I did Monday morning, before work. 

Simply take a bar of ivory soap and grate it (very easy to do - I thought this might be difficult, but my 3 year old managed to do some of the grating).  Add a little bit of hot water - just enough to make a paste - and then add food coloring.  Put the mix into a mold (we used play d'oh molds, but cookie cutters would work too).  Freeze for 30 minutes and pop out.  Let dry for 24 hours.

I Should Have...:  Only added a little bit of hot water at a time.  By the time we got to the last color, the mixture was starting to harden.

I'm Glad I...: Mixed the color in plastic cups.  Clean up was really easy, as I simply threw the cups out.  Not great for the environment, but helped us get out the door on time.
