Soap Boats
These are so simple and make bathtime a particular treat. That, and they’re perfect for using up our huge collection of hotel soaps. You may have some too, but if you’re running low a bar of Ivory soap is perfect!
For each boat you need a bar of soap (just make sure that they’re the floating sort before you start making the boat!), a toothpick or bit of bamboo skewer, and paper for a sail (we used vellum, but surprise, it’s not waterproof!).
Use the toothpick to drill down into the bar a bit until it sticks in vertically. Cut a triangular sail from your paper and slice two horizontal slits to thread onto the toothpick. Fill your pinkest bathtub with water (other colors work too) and set sail!
hi amanda! thanks for visiting. you have such a fun blog. where were you when my kids were little?;) i´ll add your link. can´t wait to see more from your corner. this week´s theme is “the beach.” have a great day-jane
Darling!! This would be a good pre-bath activity! I think I’ll raid my parents hotel soap bin because you know I would never keep them! Ha!
Cute-O! I think this will be fun at my birthday party! I love kiddio! Happy weekend! Tell J hi! Love, Luxe
What a fun activity! And they look so cute!
Love this idea! I bet these last much longer than the paper boats.
These are adorable!! I know our preschoolers would love these - but our toddler will need to play with his boat OUT of the tub since soap + water + chubby baby hands that rub eyes = trouble.
Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Oh, I love that little craft! We might have to make some of those for our water table this year. Thanks for that idea!
So cute. Thanks for sharing!
Very cute idea. I think I may use this as a playgroup craft sometime.
What a great idea to have fun with hotel soaps! I know a lot of people have a big stash of hotel travel soaps.
You are a darling you are doing such a funny …So cute. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Hi! I love soaps and everything about it. What a fun way I can spend time on with my little cousins. Thanks!
Considerably, the article is in reality the greatest on this deserving topic. I concur with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your upcoming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the tremendous clarity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates. De lightful work and much success in your business dealings!
Cute idea. I don’t know about using toothpicks, though. If they’re young enough to enjoy soap boats, their proabably too young to have sharp object in the bath. Just my two cents.
I am making an information blog related to this. If you allow, I will want to use some of your content. And I will leave necessary referencing of course
Please do let me know via email. Thanks in advance.
