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?
Just long enough to set 🙂
