These bath crayons are easy to make, and most importantly, kids love them!  I used a bar of almond soap that was given to me around Christmas, but you can use any white bar soap as long as your kids don't have a skin reaction to it.

Step 1: Ingredients and Supplies

DSCN0006.JPG
To make these soaps, you need the following:

1 Cup of soap- any white bar you'd like

Food coloring

2 tablespoons warm water

Bowls- 1 for each color you want to make

Cheese grater

Molds- I used empty candy trays, but you could use ice cube trays, cookie cutters or even mold them with your hands if you'd like

Fork- for mashing it all together

Paper towels

Will the bath crayons melt when they are out of the freezer or are they good to go?

They won't melt, freezing just speeds up the solidifying process.

Hey mine got made into a featured article, but it isn't showing up on the front page. Can you help me since I noticed yours is on the front page.
Thanks

Hmmm... I'm still fairly new here and don't know a whole lot about the inner workings of Instructables. Maybe try asking in the forums? Someone there is bound to know. Hope you get it figured out!

I got it all figured now.
Thanks for your help!

How do I vote for it in the contest?
mksabrina (author) in reply to AZNdudeDec 27, 2010. 9:01 PM
You have to wait until the entry deadline passes (Jan. 2). Then you can go to the contest page and vote for as many as you'd like while voting is open. Thanks for your interest!

just wondering.. does the food colouring make your kids sticky?
mksabrina (author) in reply to tqwertyDec 26, 2010. 6:10 PM
I've never heard of it making people sticky. It's possible different brands might react oddly, but I just use the generic grocery store brand and it works without issues. Hope this helps!
tqwerty in reply to mksabrinaDec 26, 2010. 6:46 PM
also, does it stain?
mksabrina (author) in reply to tqwertyDec 26, 2010. 7:57 PM
I haven't had problems with these staining, either. Just be sure you don't use copious amounts of food dye, and you should be fine.

I remember having these when I was younger. I loved them. This is a cool idea.
