Science4You Cup Cake

My 7-year-old had a blast mixing the colors and molding the soap batter into tiny frosting swirls. The end result was three surprisingly solid, cupcake-shaped soaps that she proudly displays in her bathroom.

I was surprised by how realistic the cupcake-shaped soaps look once they set — the colors turned out way brighter than I expected. My kids had a blast mixing the soap base and pouring the different layers. Definitely a fun activity that also leaves you with something useful.

The cupcake-shaped soaps came out looking surprisingly realistic, and my daughter loved mixing the colors herself. Only gripe is the instructions were a bit vague on the molding step, but we figured it out and the final soaps were a fun afternoon project.
