Does anyone know of a simple soap recipe that allows you to put little rubber toys in the soap. The soap won't be used. As soon as its ready it will be wrapped and kept as baby shower type favors.

Hey Victoria, something like this is really simple to do and makes great little gifts! They are perfect for baby showers and even wedding party favors with little plastic rings inside. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've just taken the Soapmaking topic back over but I can come up with some simple and easy directions fairly quickly. I'll come back and post them in just a bit. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here is what I have found.

Use melt & pour soap. add a little bit of color, but not too much. Add about 1T or so of grated transparent soap, whatever fragrance oil you like. Melt 1/2 the soap. After all your melting and adding, pour the soap into your molds 1/2 way or a tad less. Let that get a bit hardened...maybe 10 min or so...not too hard, though. Then add your (plastic) whatever you want. Melt and mix the rest of your base and pour over the top of the first part. Remember to place your goody upside down so it shows properly from the top.

Hope this helps.

making soap in a crock pot isnt hard, and its nice soap.
