St. Patrick’s Day is such a fun holiday! Unfortunately, it often gets overlooked for grown ups. Kids love dressing up in festive green, pinching bah-humbugs, and eating yummy green treats. We love making holidays fun for kids, but it can also be a fun holiday to treat your friends! This moldable sugar scrub is a cute way to show your kids and friends how lucky you are to know them! I hope you and your recipients enjoy this simple, sweet gift that’s as sweet as a pot of gold!
Supplies for Moldable Sugar Scrub
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup melt-and-pour soap
- 1 cup sugar
- 5-7 drops of lemon essential oils
- gel food coloring: kelly green, leaf green, yellow
- shamrock silicone mold
- microwaveable bowl
- spoon
Step 1: Melt the melt-and-pour soap in the microwave for the instructed time on the package. I melted mine for about 1-2 minutes on 1/2 power, stirring occasionally every 20 seconds or so.
Step 2: Once the melt-and-pour is liquid, mix in the coconut oil. The mixture should be liquid. If it solidifies a bit, reheat it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
Step 3: Mix in sugar, essential oil, and food coloring. Add only a little bit of food coloring at a time, until you reach your desired color. I used about 4 little dabs of kelly green, 3 little dabs of leaf green, and 2 little dabs of yellow. Yellow is key here to get the bright, fun green color!
Step 4: Continue to mix until the consistency is smooth and there are no chunks of different colors. Then, press mixture into a shamrock silicone mold.
