Grace, Jack, and I made snowball surprise soap yesterday as part of our first day of winter celebration. First, Grace gathered tiny treasures that she could hide in the middle of the snowball surprise soaps. Grace and I then took turns grating bars of Dove soap. The soap shavings closely resembled snow!
Jack clearly had a great time feeling and smelling the Dove bar soap shavings!
Next, Grace wet her hands in a bowl of warm water. She then pressed the Dove bar soap shavings around a chosen treasure. As Grace pressed the soap shavings around her secret treasure, she shaped the soap into a snowball shape. Grace made snowball surprise soaps for our family and friends for Christmas. Grace put lots of thought into what treasures to put inside the soaps for everyone. 
Here are some of Grace and Jack's finished snowball surprise soaps. They look exactly like snowballs! Grace enjoyed making a soap for Jack and I made one for Grace for their bath time. They have been LOVING bath time with their new surprise soaps. Grace can't wait to find out what is inside her snowball and Jack will be so excited to find a rooster in the middle of his soap (one of his favorite animals)!P.S. I think our house will forever smell like Dove soap! :)

What a great, great fantastic activity. And, all you had to do, to clean-up, was wash your hands!
The snowball soaps are just delightful. I'm sure that bath time will be even more fun this week.
I love seeing the happy and wondering faces on Jack and Grace!
So Full of Love,
Maddy--I Love the smell of Dove soap.
I wish every child could have the magic of the projects and FUN that are a part of the Leger household every day... Lucky Grace and Jack... You are amazing parents, Bob and Rebecca!

This is a super-duper idea. Enjoyable to make, pleasurable to use, and suspenseful until you get to the surprise inside. This activity is one that you wouldn't mind doing over and over again.
Nice work, Grace and Jack!
XOXOXO,
