Bath tub crayons

Cute, quick, easy, cheap, fun toddler project.

1.Grate 1 bar of Ivory soap using the smallest holes on the cheese grater. (I did this, not L.)

2.Add 10-15 drops of food coloring & 2 TBsp of warm water to soap.

3.Add more water, a TBsp at a time, & stir 'til it looks like a thick dough.

4.Press the mixture into sections (4 or more) of an ice-cube tray & freeze for at least 30 min.

5.Pop the crayons out & let them dry for a day or two (I vote 2; ours were a little squishy after only 1).

**We divided up our soap & added about 4-6 drops of different coloring to each little pile. We ended up with 4 different colors that way (& only used 1 bar of soap). L. has already used them (& loved 'em). I'll post a pic soon. It was fun times. :)

Ivory soap will always remind me of Coach Bailey.
