Here is a messy but clean recipe for bathtub crayons.
You will need several bars of ivory soap or glycerin soap, a grater, measuring cups, warm water, food coloring and cookie cutters.
First grate the bars of soap
slowly add up to a cup of warm water to 1 cup of grated soap. Add food coloring and stir until stiff.
add more water to thin or as we did more soap to make it thicker. Almost a whole second bar of soap!
Spoon into cookie cutters.
Freeze until solid- freezer time depends on how thick you make them.
Pop them out of the cutters and let dry at least over night. Again, it depends on how thick you make them.
After they are dry-you can use them to color on tub/shower walls.
I love it! I’m so going to make this!
Those are so cute! My kids would go nuts for these.
What fun! We need to try this! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! Can’t wait to link over to these! Thanks for sharing!
[...] These bathtub crayons from Pepper Paints are a perfect alternative to the store-bought options. They’re made with soap as their base, so they’re nice and clean. Plus, making them yourself, you know exactly what is in them. Get the kids involved for some great fun! (found via The Motherload). [...]
This sounds like so much fun! I love your crafty blog, I’ll be back!
This is something we need to motivate SOMEbody to bath without struggle. Thanks!!
just got done making them with my daughter, can’t wait to see how they turn out…
im 10 i did this by myself it was fun and it payed of you use the soap to create better soap!
Nice! My 3 and 4 year olds love bath crayons, but the ones you buy at the store are reall kinda hard to get off and clean. I like these since they are made with soap as the base and come off easy. You can bet we are going to do this one. Thanks
just a tip…I froze the ivory soap and it is so much easier to grate after it’s frozen!
