Soap Crayons
These make great birthday or holiday presents.
Materials Needed:
One ice cube tray
Liquid food color
2 tbsp. hot water for each crayon
1 c. soap flakes
Small bowl
Spoon
Directions:
1. For each color, put two tablespoons of hot water and one cup of
soap flakes into a bowl. Add as many drops of food color to the
mixture as you wish. Stir the soap mixture until it thickens. This
takes time, so be patient!
2. Press spoonfuls of the first color of soap into the sections of
the ice tray. Mix enough soap in other colors to fill the ice tray,
following the above directions again.
3. Let the soap crayons dry for one or two days. Gently bang the
ice tray to loosen the crayons. Pack them in a box for gift-giving.
Great for birthday presents or holidays.
