We made soap for birthday presents, but of course we made it a school lesson relating it to the pioneer times and how they made their own soap.
A little Thanksgiving trivia:
Did you know that the Puritans believed that it was dangerous to bathe because they thought that there was infections spirits in the wind and water.
Hannah and I went to our neighbor's house to make glycerin based soap and used glitter and scented oils. Alyssa and I made an easy recipe found online for oatmeal soap:
1 bar Dove soap, grated
4 -5 Tbsp water
3-4 Tbsp oatmeal, ground, but with some texture, not flour
Molds (we used tall cookie cutters)
Microwave soap and water on high, stopping to stir between each minute. Add oatmeal a little bit at a time. Pour or scoop into molds.
