PROCEDURE
Add about 1 cup of the powdered laudry soap to bowl. Slowly add water by the teaspoon until it becomes a thick liquid mixture. Stir well and begin adding food coloring until it is the color you like. Pour into ice cube trays or other small mold. Set in a sunny, dry spot for a few days to allow crayons to harden. When hard, remove from mold and use!
NOTE: Test on your bathtub sides and walls before allowing your child to use them.
