| This is a neat idea.....
Bath soap crayons are another inexpensive and fun treat for the kids and are incredibly simple to make. Make a bunch. Make them in all different colors and make cleaning fun. What you need is simply a regular bar of soap (preferably white), some water and various colors of food coloring. Take the bar of soap and grate it with a cheese grater. Add a few drops of water and food coloring. With your hands work the colored soap into a pliable ball. It should resemble the consistency of play dough. If necessary add more water until you've reached the desired consistency. Shape the soap into crayons. (NOTE: Thicker crayons, about 1 inch in circumference work best). Place the crayons on a paper towel and set them in a cool, dry place overnight until they have hardened. When bath time comes the kids will have a great time coloring themselves and everything else in the bathroom
