Soap Crayons
From debntim 15 years agoIngredients
- 2 tablespoons water shopping list
- Ivory Flakes (You can buy this in the launder detergent aisle; you don’t have to grate your own! ;o)) shopping list
- food coloring, your choices; be sure to blend some colors to teach / reinforce blending to make new colors! shopping list
How to make it
- Pour water into a measuring cup; as long as it’s at least 1 cup size, you’re fine.
- Add soap flakes until you have a full cup.
- Mix the water and soap until you have a nice soapy paste, not too lumpy!
- Separate into small sections to make more colors.
- Add coloring of your choice and mix well. You want to use a fork or a mini-whisk.
- To shape, pinch and roll into fat crayon-like shapes or press firmly into plastic ice cube trays for tiny hands.
- Dry in a warm, dry place for a couple of days. The soap will be hard when it’s ready.
- Use in bath tub for lots of fun ~ the kids will be begging to take baths!
- ---another good trick for practicing abc’s and drawing in the bathtub is to give your little ones a can of shaving cream and watch ‘em go! This is great, not just while the little ones are waiting for their soap crayons to dry, but anytime. I suggest this all the time to parents of my emergent and early readers at school for fun, clean practice! Enjoy!
