Hi!
Finally I am organized enough to have a Toddler Tuesday post today instead of a whine about how I suck post. 
Yay!
I mentioned earlier that I had a snow day last week because I am too chicken to drive in snow. I hopped on Pinterest and looked for an activity for Baby Belle. I have a ton of stuff pinned but I had very few on hand ingredients. No worries…I did have some toilet paper and I also had an old Bath and Body Works bar of soap that I have had since college…TADA! Soap Mud! I had pinned a pretty cool recipe that just uses those two ingredients on The Imagination Tree blog.
First I got Baby Belle and my sister busy tearing up toilet paper into teeny tiny bits.
While they did that I grated up a bar of stinky soap. Then I mixed the soap shavings with the toilet paper.
Then I poured hot water into a measuring cup. We were to add the water and mash up the mixture until it combined into a cool messy mud.
For some reason I forgot that my kid hates having anything yucky on her hands. She touched this, gave me a dirty look, and then proceeded to give me a sponge bath with the hot water (don’t worry! it had cooled down).
I let her do it for a good 15 minutes while I happily played in the soapy mixture. If Baby Belle would have been into it I would have added more toilet paper because it was just a soapy mess but since she was busy bathing me I didn’t worry about it.
Oh soap mud!
Have a great day y’all!

at least you had fun with it!!
That is true!
You’re a cool mom. I would have never done that!
Ha! Thanks! I love doing crafty stuff so it is fun for me too
Haha, cute! I was the same when I was a kid, I hated having anything messy on my hands according to my parents. Have you tried the soap cloud thing? I think its an Ivory soap bar and microwave it. Its pretty cool to watch, and then kiddos can take it in the bath and use it OR it can be crumbled and used to make small soaps: http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/04/kitchen-craft-soap-clouds-and-homemade-kiddie-tub-soaps/
I have seen this one but heard other posts that it didn’t really work. I guess we will have to give it a go!
Huh, I hadn’t read that. I was wanting to try it sometime, I always forget to get the soap though. :p
