Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I've got a couple extra pounds of washy squashy soap - it's light yellow (uncolored). I sold some over Easter inside colored plastic eggs. I'd like to sell more, for kids, but don't have any good packaging ideas and I'm not sure I want to do the eggs again. does anyone else sell this stuff or have any ideas about packaging it??? thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 SunFeather created a product called Washy SquashyTM back in 1996. It was premiered at the New York International Gift Show in New York City. It is a soft, moldable soap. We sell it in a variety of forms ranging from 1.5 oz to 3 oz bars in packs of 6, 3 and 2 and in canisters. Kids love it because they can create sculptures and designs that, once dry, they can bring into the bath tub to play and wash with. I think that may be similar to what the previous member posted about. SunFeather trade marked the name Washy Squashy, but I still see others referring to similar products by the name.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Yes of course I will share OK, here is Carla's version of Playdough Soap: 4oz. M & P 2Tbls. Glycerine 1c. corn starch (1/4 c. + 3/4 put aside) Color (of choice if desired) EO/FO of choice wax paper (place on table) Melt M & P (however you melt it) Add Glycerine & stir add 1/4c. corn starch & mix WELL at this point I add FD & C or D & C color & FO of choice MIX well I put the rest of corn starch on wax paper and pour soapy mix on paper. Knead like you would bread, adding corn starch slowly. For a softer dough, use MORE glycerine. For less sticky dough, use MORE corn starch. I'm sure that Carla wont mind me sharing her recipe.. as long as you dont claim it for your own I have made this and its great...I put mine in clear deli pots, the ones with the snap on lids.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Fiona, What does this look like when complete and how is it used? Sounds like something my grandbabies would enjoy. Thanks for sharing....but now tell us, is it worth our time and expense? Will the mom's still speak to us if we give it to the kids?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Fiona, thanks so much for the recipe. Was wondering if this could be used with cake decorating tools to decorate lil petit fours of soap. Will it dry and get hard if left out in the air? Michele Re: Re: washy squashy soap ideas?
