Ivory Explosion

Pin It

Another Pinterest-inspired activity from Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas.

This is what it looks like after being microwaved for 30 seconds:

This is what it looks like after one minute in the microwave (not much different):

It feels like lightweight styrofoam and crumbles easily. It makes a slick, soapy mess when you add water.

Thing2 smelled nice and clean after this "science experiment."

Cutting the soap bar was a good opportunity for Thing1 to learn about simple fractions.  It seems like he understood.
