The materials are easy to find and easy to use. Your kids can explore their creative side, and come up with all sorts of interesting soaps, without having a lot of crafting experience. There is no reason that soap making, even with kids, has to be boring. While basic soaps are fun, (and a good place to start), here are some ideas for easy soaps, that kids can make, that have a unique creative touch.<br \/>\n<strong>Cucumber and Aloe Loofah Soap-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This delightful and very green soap, is fun to use, but also makes a great gift. Kids and adults alike will love its luxurious scent and color!<\/p>\n<p><em>What you will need:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">3 oz Opaque soap flakes<\/span><\/li>\n<li>1 Loofah (sliced)<\/li>\n<li>1 Tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel<\/li>\n<li>15 Drops of cucumber essential oil<\/li>\n<li>Liquid food color (green)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Instructions for the project:\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Using a microwave friendly bowl, pour the soap flakes, sliced loofah, Aloe Vera gel, green color and cucumber oil, into it and mix them well. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and place it in the microwave, for a minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave, stir any remnants of the un-dissolved soap pieces, and put it into a soap making mold of the desired shape! You need to make sure to let the soap dry, for 2 to 3 days, before taking it out of the mold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making soaps with kids is a fun craft; you can do for a school activity, or simply to spend a few hours together, crafting.
