Place soap balls and bubble bath together in a basket and wrap them to give away as a Valentine's Day present. Materials:
• 4 cups of soap flakes
• 1 cup water, divided in two
• 1/2 tsp. food coloring
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Large spoon
• Cookie sheet
• Foil
• 6 tsp. baby oil
• 1/2 cup shampoo
Directions:
1. Measure the soap flakes and put them in the mixing bowl.
2. Add food coloring to the soap.
3. Add small amounts of water at a time from 1/2 cup of water. Stir until the soap pulls away from the sides of the bowl. It will form a ball. The mixture should be thick, not sticky.
4. Roll small amounts of the soap mixture into balls. Use your hands to do this.
5. Place the finished soap balls on a foil-covered cookie sheet.
6. Allow the soap balls to dry for a week.
