Soap Making


No, not snowballs, they're soap balls!

The girls and I made soap balls.
We bought a kit, which involved mixing the soap base with oils and boiling water and molding the mix into shapes.
We then left the soap to dry for a couple of days.
The kids are enjoying their soapballs in the bath, I don't have to tell them to use soap.
You don't need to buy a kit to make this type of soap.

Are these like bath bombs? I love bath bombs and I've been trying to make them for a while but never got it quite right. I make soap bars all the time, but apparently can't make a bath bomb to save my life! =)

Mine end up very fragile and crumb when we touch them. Is there any trick I'm missing out?
