DIY Green Dinosaur Soap Directions

Melt the soap base in the microwave for 30 seconds. If not fully melted, heat in 10 second intervals until fully melted.

Stir in the soap colorant. We used Kiwi coloring but you can choose whichever color you prefer.

Pour your soap into the Dinosaur mold.

Let the soaps set for 1-2 hours then remove them from the mold.

Your Dinosaur soaps are now ready to gift or use. Why not give this Dinosaur Lap book to the kids to enjoy as they wait for their Dinosaur soaps to set.
