Kids love making soap and what could be easier to
clean up? You can even make soap out of the little
pieces of soap you have leftover that no one
wants to use. I should not call this making soap.
This is soap crafting. Working with lye to make
soap is way too dangerous to do with kids. Soap
crafting works with ready made soap. You have
many options these days. If you are just starting
out and just want to get your feet wet before you
spend money you can use the soap you already
buy at the store anyway. I will start with the
easiest soaps and will add harder ones a little at a
time so save us to your favorites and check back
with us often. You can even start making great
gift baskets to give out to friends and family.
Oatmeal Soap
Glycerin Soaps
Filled & Layered Soaps
Specialty Glycerin Soaps

Oatmeal Soap is a great place to
start when you are first
beginning. They are not very
hard to make and they are
supposed to look natural and
rustic so you can make them as
gifts and they will look like they
came from an expensive store.
It is also a very cheap way to get
started and see what you think.
Glycerin Soaps are great when
you want to have soap in fancy
shapes or you want to add toys
or other objects. Your kids might
just beg to take a bath when they
have their own soap with a little
toy in the middle. You can also
make decorator soaps to give
your bathroom counter some
more excitement.
Glycerin Soaps are very easy to
get creative with. You can layer
colors to create stripes and other
designs. You can also put toys,
flowers, or other objects inside.
Get creative and make your own
specialty designer soaps.
Specialty soaps are becoming all
the rage. They can be very
expensive and it can be hard to
find the type and scent you want.
You can easily make your own
exactly how you want them and
create incredible gift baskets for
your friends and family.
