Kitchen Craft: Soap Clouds
-- Stick a bar of Ivory Soap in the microwave - and make Soap Clouds! Don't worry, the kids can still even use it as soap when you're done.
Reminder: Only use IVORY bar soap. If you end up with a burned mess in your microwave, it's because because you didn't use Ivory!
I would stick to the plain, original bars, but you could try the Aloe scented ones and let us know how it turned out.
Check Amazon to grab some Ivory bar soap.
