Flying Frog Soaps

Making fun soaps with kids has inspired me to make some more kid friendly soaps.

Here's the latest.

The base is clear so the frog is easier to see.

The glitter adds sparkly fun.

The frog is a stretchy toy that will fly through the air.

Sort of like a rubber band.

How fun to have an acceptable way to

shoot a rubberband at your sibling.

Mom, "Go to your room.  You know better than to

shoot a rubberband at your brother/sister."

Child, "But Mom, it's not a rubberband.

It's a flying frog."

Mom, "You just doubled your time out."

Meanwhile, Dad is stifling his laughter and

amusement lest he end up in trouble as well. 

As Mom makes sure child is headed for said room,

Dad might even shoot the frog.

Just to see if he can get it to fly as far as his child did.

And because it looked like so much fun.

If he's really daring,

he might even shoot the frog at Mom.

Maybe by the time the child's time out is over,

Mom will shoot the frog at Dad.

I'm a Mom.

I know about these things.

Do I need to put a warning on the label like this:

SHOOTING THE RUBBER BAND FROG

TOWARD A PERSON (SUCH AS YOUR SIBLING)

MIGHT PUT SOMEBODY'S EYE OUT

Or it might land you in time out.

So shoot it when Mom's not looking.

And don't shoot it at Mom's backside.

You know she has eyes in the back of her head.

You don't want to go putting those out.

Then you'll really be in trouble.

For a while, anyway.

After that, maybe you can get away with lots of things

since she can't see behind her back anymore.

Maybe I'll include a warning about running with scissors too.

Just in case.

Do you have any fun stories about shooting rubberbands (or frogs)?

Come on.  I'll bet you've shot one - at least once.

If not, it's high time you gave it a try.

Just don't put any eyes out.

Lime Green Frog Soap

I’m rarely at a loss for words.  But the past few days, words for this blog have escaped me. So I took my temperature.  Just in case I’m coming down with something.  The result was 97.8.  So I don’t think I’m sick.

While pondering where my words went, I walked by this cute little frog soap.  I don’t have much to say about him, but he makes me smile.  He is scented with a sweet lime fragrance.  Oh. And he's on sale for 20% off right now in my Etsy shop.

I want to make lots more of these in many colors.  I seem to be into bright colors of late.  I especially enjoy making bright primary, neon and rainbow themed colors.  What other color combos would be good for these little frogs?  They are the perfect size for children’s hands.

Well, I’m off to see if I can find where my words are hiding.  And maybe I'll make some soap while I'm at it :-)

Thanks for reading!

PS - Carol, here is a picture of the multi color fish.  The lines between colors are blurred.  I can do them more distinct if you prefer.  Just let me know :-)  Also, I just listed a these fish on Etsy in case you want to take a look at what the rainbow colors would look like.  The fish come either as a set or individually.
