How to make soap for Pioneer dolls...

Bars of pretend soap for any dolls.

       We made pretend soap for play with all of our dolls, not just Pioneer Dolls.  But there is an interesting video included here for those students interested in knowing just 'how' the Pioneer's actually made soap over 100 years ago. I sure am glad that this is no longer a chore we need to perform!

Supply List:

  • cardboard scraps
  • ruler
  • masking tape
  • white school glue
  • acrylic paints
  • scrap paper for labels (optional) 
  • Mod Podge
Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Cut many multiple pieces of cardboard into the same sizes.
  2. Using white school glue, adhere layers of these cardboard pieces until your pretend soap is the size and shape you desire.
  3. Mask the surface area to make it stronger for play.
  4. Paint the surfaces of your soap in the colors you prefer.
  5. Seal the painted faux soaps with Mod Podge.
  6. If you like to put your doll sized soap on display at a doll fair or market, wrap it with paper and label it with stickers.
