Kid Soap Using the Bath Buddies recipe, pat or roll the mixture out to a suitable thickness and let the kids use cookie cutters or theme cutters (Lion King, alphabet cutters, etc.) to make individual soaps. Make soap-on-a-rope by cutting two identical pieces and sandwiching the string between the layers. You could also make two-tone soaps by using identical shapes of different colors and sandwiching them together. Smaller cutters make nice shapes in guest-soap size that can be placed in a small wicker basket for gift giving, bathroom display, or drawer sachets.
