How to make your own bath crayons

What you need 

• Soap – white soap bars are best for colouring
• Cheese grater, or sharp knife and chopping board
• Microwavable bowl or pan
• Natural food coloring 
• Silicone mold or ice cube tray
• Small bowls

What to do 

1. Either grate or very carefully chop your soap bar into small chunks.
2. Pop the soap into a microwavable bowl and microwave the soap on high until it melts. Set your microwave for a minute. If it’s not completely melted, stir, and try again for 30 second increments.
3. If you are using a pan, pop the soap into a pan, put on a low heat, and stir continually until it has melted.
4. Divide the melted soap into small bowls – depending on how many colours of soap crayon you wish to make.
5. Add a different food coloring to each bowl. Mix well.
6. Pour the liquid soap into your mold and leave it to set.
7. Use and enjoy!
