Materials
Food processor or cheese grater
4 (4.5-ounce) bars of Ivory soap
8 tiny plastic toys
Instructions
Use a food processor fitted with the grater attachment to shred the four bars of soap. (You can also grate the bars by hand with a cheese grater.) Pour the soap pieces into a large bowl.
With your hands, mix in about a half cup of lukewarm water, a little bit at a time, until the mixture is squishy and claylike.
For each snowball, scoop up a heaping handful of soap and mold it into a ball. Poke a deep hole in the center with your finger, insert a toy, and refill the hole. Lay the finished snowballs on a cookie sheet and let them dry thoroughly. Makes 8.
I have been searching for a fun Christmas craft to do with my kids this year. if anyone has fun ideas I would love to hear them. A few years ago my kids and I made these fun soaps and gave them as gifts. My kids loved making them and using them. We used small reindeer that I found at the dollar store as the hidden surprise.
Fun!
