Ingredients
Scale
- Cocoa butter block soap
- Pink, orange, green, blue, and purple food coloring
- Soap scent (we used cucumber melon, also consider an Essential Oil* like Lavender)
- Small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
- Popsicle mold (dollar store)
- Wide craft sticks
- Small sauce pot
- 5 empty clean soup cans
- Knife
Instructions
- Cut your soap block into about 10 large ice cube size pieces.
- Place 2 soap cubes in each tin can.
- Fill your pot about 1/4 way with water and bring to a boil on your stove.
- Place one can in the boiling water to act as a double boiler.
- Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until melted.
- Add in 1 very small drop of your pink food coloring and 1/8 teaspoon of your soap scent (any more food coloring will stain your hands when using).
- Spray a very small amount of a non stick cooking spray inside your molds.
- Pour your pink melted soap 1/5 way up in your Popsicle mold, spray once with alcohol to prevent air bubbles.
- Freeze for 5 minutes, then stick Popsicle stick into the center.
- While your soap is in the freezer, place your next tin can with 2 soap cubes into the boiling water.
- Add 1 very small drop of orange food coloring and 1/8 teaspoon soap scent, stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Once melted, pour over your pink soap another 1/5 way and spray with alcohol.
- Freeze for 5 minutes.
- Repeat steps 4-6 with each color.
- Once hardened, stick a Popsicle stick into each side of the soap to loosen, then pull out.
- Please supervise children around soap and while using soap as this smells and looks yummy but is still soap!
