Kids Soap with Toys Inside

Make taking a bath or washing hands fun for kids by making handmade kids soap with toys inside. You can use any mould and small toy for this purpose. They make great stocking stuffers too!

The blue soap dye is optional in this tutorial, however it does give the soap that translucent look that you don’t quite get from the glycerine soap alone.

You can choose to use any essential oil that is safe for kids or fragrance oil. The fruity smells of the citrus essential oils should be particularly appealing to kids however over choices parents might make such as lavender.  If you are looking to help calm them down, orange essential oil may do the trick and be a scent that kids find attractive. 

I chose to use My Little Pony figures but any little toy should do the trick!
