I love Pinterest. So many useful bits of information are right at my fingertips every time I log in! I think I will keep posting about things that we find and complete thanks to Pinterest from here on out. So this is my first official "I Saw It On Pinterest" post. :) Here is the original post that I re-pinned. All you need is a piece of wax paper, a bar of Ivory soap and a microwave.
Place the soap on the wax paper and microwave on high for a couple of minutes.
I know the photos aren't the best, but a transformation of the bar of soap is happening right in front of their eyes!
It's expanding...
It's ballooning and slowly morphing into a cloud like shape.
We opened the door to see. It kind of shrunk down a little when we did that. It felt like tissue paper!
We saved a piece to hold onto while we cooked it some more.
As it ballooned into a cloud, I moved it into a bowl for some sensory play. The part of the soap bar that was still solid went back into the microwave to complete the transformation.
This is what came out. I love this!
I had a very hard time convincing the boys to play with it. I don't know why- it's pretty neat. It crumbles into a powder, but also tears like tissue paper. You can squeeze it into a sort of ball. After I walked away from the bowl, a few boys decided it was snow and proceeded to throw it in the air and stomp it into the patio. (Insert my cranky face HERE.) A broom later, all was well. All because I saw it on Pinterest. Happy Wednesday!♥♥♥
That's also one of the steps in making your own powdered laundry soap...a few more ingredients needed but you're part way there. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing, I had no idea!
