Handmade Lavender Soap with Watercolor Package

 

 

 

 

We spent a quiet morning making soap this week. It was a simple, creative way to start the day, and we both felt pretty proud of the resulting little packages. Rowan helped to measure, stir, and pour the soap, and we took a long walk to our local coffee shop while the soaps sat and dried.  It was a good morning.

You can make this soap by adding your favorite essential oils to an organic soap base for a handmade gift any dad or teacher would love. We added added dried lavender which is not only made them beautiful, but make these soaps calming and aromatic. The watercolor tags that any kid can create made them extra special.

Handmade Organic Lavender Soap

Organic Goats Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base
Dried Lavender
Vitamin E
20 drops Lavender Essential Oil
10 drops Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
10 drops Vetiver Essential Oil
10 drops Orange Bergamot Essential Oil
Silicone Soap Molds

Watercolor Labels

Labels template printable HERE.
Watercolor paint
Glue
Scissors

I used half of the package of this soap base which made four bars of soap and worked well with the amount of essential oils in the recipe.

Chop soap base into small squares. In a double boiler melt soap base to a liquid. You can microwave the soap in a pyrex bowl by heating it in intervals until liquid.

Add vitamin e and essential oils to base and stir. Add dried Lavender. Experiment with the essential oils to get the scent you like. There is no real recipe needed here. It can be a very personal project. Pour liquid into molds and let set for about an hour until solid and firm.

Cut out labels template, and let kids color or paint them. Wrap bars in parchment paper or tissue paper.  Glue labels to bars.

 

Enjoy!

When I was challenged with my own feelings while parenting, I started creating activities that could help kids and parents open up about their emotions. It was so therapeutic and helpful, so I put my feelings activities together into a book. I created the book that I wanted for my own parenting, and I am so thrilled to share it with you.
Vanilla Blueberry Yogurt Pops. I made this recipe this week after posting it in my newsletter and it was so fresh and yummy, so sharing it here! I used to make these yogurt pops all of the time for my son and he would eat them for breakfast. If blueberries are not in season use frozen wild blueberries or whatever frozen fruit you like. They are really easy to make and you can even add some oats if you want to make them even more nutritious for breakfast. ⁠
Try Flower Breathing 🌸 In my last reel, I showed how to make these cardboard Lavender scented flowers. The "pistol" is scented with lavender oil which is a very calming and make it fun. The act of breathing in and out, calms the nervous system and get kids introduced to breath work. Flip through the images and use it as a guide plus one of the images is instructions that you can screen shot. 🌸⁠
