Do you sometimes find your bath time is a little boring ? I do sometimes.
To help make bath time more fun, here is a great idea to make a soap that you can have fun and wash with.
It is also very silky and smells really, really good!
MATERIALS
- ¾ cup of cornstarch
- ½ cup of body gel soap
- ½ tbsp. of olive oil
- Food coloring
- 1 big bowl
- Plastic wrap
STEP 1
- Put the cornstarch in the bowl
- Add a little bit of soap at a time (you may not need to use it all)
- Mix well with your hands
STEP 2
- If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more cornstarch. If the dough is too grainy, add a little more soap
- Once your dough is perfect, add the olive oil
- Mix it well
STEP 3
- Separate the dough into two balls
- Press a hole (not all the way through) in the middle of each ball
- Add 2 to 4 drops of food coloring
- Mix it well
STEP 4
- Make a heart shape with each ball of dough
- Wrap your new creations in the plastic wrap
SMELLS GREAT!
It’s bath time! Wow, that smells really good!
If you add water to your soap it will become stickier and melt. You can now create new forms!
Have fun !
I hope you had fun making this activity with me!

Valentine’s Day will be here soon! How would you like to make a beautiful decoration for this special day ?
A pretty stained glass heart that you can hang in the window or from the ceiling.
You could even give it as a present to someone you love very much.
Let’s go!
MATERIALS
- Construction paper
- Different colored tissue paper
- White or transparent glue
- Water
- A piece of waxed paper
- Scissors
- Paint brush
- White pencil crayon
STEP 1
- Draw a frame in the shape of a heart on your construction paper
- Cut it out
- Use your heart frame as a template to make another heart frame
STEP 2
- Cut strips of your tissue paper
- Now you can cut squares out of the strips of tissue paper
STEP 3
- Add a little bit of water into your glue and use your paint brush to glue the frame onto the waxed paper
- Turn the heart frame upside down (facing the table)
- Put glue on the waxed paper (the heart frame will be on the other side)
- Glue your little squares of tissue paper onto the waxed paper
STEP 4
- Put glue on top of your little squares of tissue
- Glue your second heart frame onto the waxed paper (matching it to the other side) and let dry completely
- Cut the waxed paper that extends past the heart frame
IT’S DONE!
You now have a beautiful Valentine’s Day stained glass heart.
Be sure to hang it where there is a lot of light!
I hope you had fun making this activity with me!
Come back soon!
