Activity:

Pour some soap flakes into a medium-size bowl (you can make your own soap flakes by grating a bar of soap).

Stir in water until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.

Add a few drops of food colouring to the mixture to make coloured soaps.

Cover your table with waxed paper.

Place the dough on the waxed paper, and sculpt the soap, or use cookie cutters, to mould the soap into any shape you like.

Leave the soap to dry overnight before use.
