Crystal Ombre Soap Making
What you get
Make a splash — with soapy science! Craft and customize two kinds of colorful, crystal-inspired soaps. Then take a deep dive into hands-on learning, and explore mineral science, colorful ombre geodes, and the squeaky-clean chemical reactions between soap, grime, and water. Everything you can hope for (and soap for!) wrapped up in a single crate.
Requires microwave. One project can make 3 unique soaps.

My daughter loved this kit! She had so fun making soap, plus, the mold are reusable so we’ve ordered more clear soap for her to continue making soap.
Good, clean fun! Pun intended. It came with enough supplies for many, many soap molds. We had so much fun with this easy, yet visually satisfying project, that we ran out and bought more materials from a hobby store so that we could make more and more and more. A great gift.
I got this kit for my 7 yr old. He and my 9 yr old did it together and had the best time creating their soaps. We made 3 and have enough supplies left over to make more another day.
