Instead of giving sugary treats out this year for Halloween, you could give out a super spooky DIY Halloween Soap with googly eyes to each trick-or-treater. They did ask for a trick or a treat…..MUAHaHaHa! However, I like to just make them for my kiddos to get them in the spirit of Halloween. This recipe is also a great science experiment that teachers could do at school.
