The Many Uses of Ivory

Every time I smell the smell of  Ivory soap it takes me back to when I was young. We always used Ivory bar soap.

I received  a MomVoxBox from Influenster, and I was so happy to see a bar of Ivory soap in it. So instead of it sitting on my shelf getting no use out of it, I made bath crayons for my son Jordan. He loved it he is a fish, would love to live in the water if he could and he thought it was so neat that he could draw in the shower and the bath tub. They were so easy to make to, anyone could do it.

Homemade bath Crayons




1 cup grated Ivory Soap 
1/4 cup warm water 
Food Coloring

Mix water, soap & food coloring together in med. size bowl. Stir the crayon mixture until it begins to stiffen. Remove the mixture from the bowl and knead until it is the consistency of a very thick dough. Spoon Crayon Mixture into plastic cookie cutters or other plastic molds (playdough molds work great too!). Press down firmly. Place the plastic cookie cutters in your freezer for 10 mins or in your refrigerator for 30 mins. When firm, Pop the bath crayons out of the cookie cutters (or other molds) and allow them to air dry overnight or until hard.
