Tips & variations

Once you have made your soap with a toy inside (kids soap), here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.

• Make sure the embed is soap-safe and fully dry before pouring around it.
• Pour at a lower temperature so the embed does not melt or float.
• Add colour and fragrance once the soap has cooled slightly, then pour before it starts to set.

Make it your own: swap the colour, fragrance or botanicals, or try a different mould for a whole new look.
