Join Jacob Edwards Library for a fun Soapmaking Event August 7, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Getting little ones to wash their hands isn't always an easy task.
That's sure to change after they create their own rubber duckie soap.
During the children’s version of this workshop, each participant will make their own soapy creation using glycerin based soap and adding colors, glitter and scents. The process does not involve traditional soap making techniques, so there is no lye exposure. Once the concoction has cooled slightly, we will add cosmetic grade glitter, colors, essential oil (optional), choose from a variety of rubber duckies to embed and decorate the tops with white soap curls, creating waves. Participants will take their soap home, which can be removed from the mold the following day and used right away. Soap is approximately 3 oz. with a 2” rubber duckie.
Children MUST be age 8 or older. Due to safety concerns, because the melted soap is hot, a caregiver must be hands-on and actively involved with each child under the age of 12 to help with the project. No exceptions will be made. At the beginning of the workshop an acknowledgement of safety concerns form must be signed by parent/guardian if the participant is under 18 years old. Program starts promptly, no admission is allowed after instructions are given.
Sponsored by Southbridge Cultural Council.
