How To Make Dinosaur Soap

Making your dinosaur soap is very easy to do and your little helpers will have a lot of fun working with you.

Prepare Melt And Pour Soup Base

Start by cutting about 15 ice cube sized pieces off the shea butter base block. Next, shred or cut the soap into smaller pieces to make it easier to melt. Place 1/3 of the soap in a microwave safe bowl or large glass measuring cup or batter bowl.

This part of the soap making dinosaur activity is best left to mom or an older child with supervision.

Melt The Soap Base

Microwave for the soap base pieces for 30 seconds or until it’s soap is completely melted. Take it out of the microwave. Add in your favorite soap scent and stir well with a wooden craft stick.

Little hands make great assistants at stirring the soap mix with a craft stick.

Use Soap Molds

Immediately pour the melted soap into 4 of the mini muffin molds, filling almost to the top of each mold. Place a dinosaur into each mold filled with soap. Set aside to harden while you make the next batch of soap.

Adding Scent And Color To Your Soap

Microwave 1/2 of the remaining soap for 30 seconds or until completely melted.

Next, add your scent and stir well with a craft stick. Follow this by adding a few drops of the blue soap colorant and stir again.

Pour the melted blue soap into 4 of the silicone molds. Place a dinosaur into each mold and set them aside to harden.

Lastly, microwave the remaining shea butter soap for 30 seconds or until melted. Add a soap scent and 1-2 drops of green soap colorant. Stir well.Pour the melted green soap into the remaining 4 silicone molds.
