Soap Crayons Recipe

	Debntim / All my dishes 1 year ago Here’s a good one to make on a Saturday, rainy or not. They’re great for the bathtub ~ children can practice writing their abc’s, words, or just draw pictures; it’s all good! Since the crayons have to have ‘drying time’, pick another cool...

Ingredients

2 tablespoons water

Ivory Flakes (You can buy this in the launder detergent aisle; you don’t have to grate your own! ;o))

Food coloring, your choices; be sure to blend some colors to teach / reinforce blending to make new colors!

Directions

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!
