How to Make Soap For Kids: Step by Step
- Cut 4 cubes off Olive Oils Soap Base. You will see they are pre-scored. Place in microwave safe container.
- Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. All microwaves vary so watch that it doesn’t start to boil. Alternatively you can melt this slowly on the stove top.
- Add 1 tsp colorant and stir to mix well.
- Add 15-20 drops of Thieves Essential Oil and mix well.
- Working quickly, pour into mold. 4 cubes will make 3 Monster Molds.
- Repeat process with different colors as desired.
- Refrigerate for about an hour and then gently slide out of mold. They should pop right out.
- Encourage your kiddo’s to get to washing!!!

do these have to be kept in the fridge, or are they just placed in the fridge long enough to set?
