This is a fun soap-like addition to your bath time, especially for little kids. Add small toys before the jelly congeals.

Ingredients

  • 1 packet of unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 C. of liquid soap
  • 3/4 C. of water
  • Food coloring
  • Fragrance oils or essential oils
  • Plastic storage jar with lid

Directions

Empty the packet of gelatin into a bowl and set aside. Boil 3/4 C. of water using a saucepan or kettle. Carefully pour the hot water into mixing bowl and mix it with the gelatin powder. Let the gelatin dissolve completely. Next, pour the liquid soap into the gelatin mix in the bowl. Add 2 drops of food coloring into the mix and also add fragrance oil (about 5 drops). Stir it very gently so the bubbles do not become agitated. Pour the mix into the clean storage container and allow to set for several hours in the refrigerator.

To Use: Place a small amount of jelly under the running water as you draw your bath.

Note: Add a small toy into the Jelly before it sets to give the kids an incentive to get to the bottom of the Jelly soap. Dispose of the jelly after several weeks or if mold is present. Avoid mold by keeping it in an airtight container in a cool place at all times. A small scoop is ideal to keep in the jar to make it easier to add to bath water.
