Make and Takes posted this great idea for creating creatures from bath sponges, poufs or loofahs as they are sometimes called. These creatures are not for shower or bath use once created, but make a fun toy for a little one (watch the small parts) or are just a great affordable kid’s party activity. All you need is some pipe cleaners, the sponges, google eyes and whatever other embellishments you can think of. Maybe some ribbon, jewels or jingle bells.
Before having the kids create their creatures, you might want to try making your own soap from scratch to hand out! Sure they can’t really use the two things in conjunction with each other, but it’s a theme you’re building on here.
Nowadays if you just want to try out soap making, there are is a great selection of do it it yourself soap making kits with everything you need at your local craft store to get started.
Gross Soap Kit: Melt the glycerin and suspend plastic bugs inside!
Soap Factory: Simple shapes and molds that kids can help you with!
