Soap Crayons

Do you have little ones who love to play in the bath?  I know I did and if I let them stay in there for the entire day they would look like a prune, but would be loving it!  Here is how to make your own soap crayons that are perfect for those baths!

MATERIALS

• Mild powdered laundry soap

• Food coloring

• Ice cube trays or other small molds

• Water

PROCEDURE

Add about  1 cup of the powdered laundry soap to bowl.  Slowly add water by the teaspoon until it becomes a thick liquid mixture.  Stir well and begin adding food coloring until it is the color you like.  Pour into ice cube trays or other small mold.  Set in a sunny, dry  spot for a few days to allow crayons to harden.  When hard, remove from mold and use!

NOTE: Test on your bathtub sides and walls before allowing your child to use them.
