Melt and pour glycerin fish soap made from glycerin soap blocks! These little fish soaps are easy for kids to make and fun to customize with different scents! An awesome gift idea or summer craft for kids!
Melt and Pour Glycerin Fish Soap
Supplies for making fish soap:
2 lb. melt and pour clear glycerin soap base
soap coloring (optional)
soap scents or essential oils (optional)
toothpicks for stirring
Step by Step Instructions To Make Your Own Glycerin Fish Soap:
- Cut glycerin into cubes. We found that 2 cubes were just the right amount to make a small 2"x3" bar of soap. You'll have to play around with the amounts for whatever size of mold you use. The girls all wanted different scents so we made many tiny batches to cater to their preferences.
- 2. Melt soap cubes in a microwave safe measuring cup (with a pour spout). Mix in desired scents and colorings.
- 3. Place fish into a soap mold and pour soap mixture on top.
- 4. Refrigerate until firm.
Such a fun afternoon project. The girls couldn't wait to wash their hands with their new soaps.

Love making soap with my kids (soapsicles are our fave). The fish are super cute, but I gotta try that candy cane soap come December.

Eee! Those are so much fun! Maybe I could get my son to wash his hands with soap more easily if I made some of these! Haha! 🙂 Lisa

What a fun idea! I have so many little soaps around the house that have been gifted to me but I never used them, and I'm not even sure why. They are so pretty to put out on a little dish, and these would be so fun to make AND give out as little presents or for a kids bathroom. Thanks for sharing this, I just pinned it to try over the summer. Thanks for linking up a #HappinessIsHomemade this week! 🙂
