Book Overview
Melt-and-pour soapmaking is the perfect easy and safe craft for kids, and this is the ideal guide to teach them how to do it. All the basics are covered to ensure "sud-sational" success, and 56 fun projects and nearly 300 colorful photos add to the appeal. The fun begins with choosing a soap base and selecting molds, from 3-D seashells and eggs to sandbox toys. Add fragrance, color, or other pizzazzy extras, such as pearlescent powder, shimmery cosmetic grade glitter, crushed dried flower petals, or herbs. Children will have a blast getting wacky with gross-out eyeball soaps, making soap popsicles complete with a wooden stick, getting happy with smiley faces, fashioning a soapasaurus, or cooking up "alphabet soap." Great gift ideas include a Best Friend Soap Bracelet or clear bar with a photo embedded for Grandma. Plus, there are cool soap facts throughout.

This book is wonderful for teaching kids a new craft. You use basic melt and pour glycerin base that's bought at a craft store, and tons of other items to make a unique bar of soap. This book has recipes for dog soap (soap to wash your dog with), soap balls that look like eyeballs and happy faces, alaphabet soap that you use cookie cutters to cut out the letters, soaps you put small toys into, and moldable play-dough type soap. I really liked making the moldable soap for my friends who had children who hated taking baths. You'll also learn how you can paint designs onto the soap with candle/soap paints. All of the instructions are very easy to read and easy to follow so kids can't make a mistake. Toward the end of the book, an 11 year old describes how she turned a present into a hobby. She found that her soapmaking kit was so fun to use, she decided to sell her soaps to people and turned it into a business! She explains how other kids can do the same and what stuff they'd need for it. Overall, Soapmaking: 50 Fun and Fabulous Soaps to Melt and Pour is a wonderful book for kids and adults that want to learn how to make homemade soap.
