Grate a bar of Ivory soap (I used Zest ) using the smallest holes on a cheese grater. 2. Add 10-15 drops of food coloring (my soap was already green so I didn't add any coloring) and 2 tablespoons of warm water to the grated soap. 3. Add more warm water, a tablespoon at a time, and stir until it looks like thick dough. 4. Spray an ice-cube tray with vegetable oil spray. 5.Press the mixture into 4 sections (for me it filled 8) of an ice-cub tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Pop the crayons out of the tray, and let them dry for a day or two before using.

The hair I wish I had...lol Group: Members Posts: 21,560 Member No.: 157 Joined: 4-May 03	That does sound like a cool recipe. How easy does it wipe off though? I know the store bought ones are a pain in the tush. -------------------- Brianne Wife to Leithan and mommy to Mckaylee (4) and Russell (3) Click here to help us grown our village http://schwartzville.myminicity.com/

We have a smooth surface so it wiped off easily. It's just soap so you could do a little test spot with a bar of soap before you make them!
