This morning we are setting out on an adventure with a bar of Ivory Soap and I’ll be “live blogging” as we go!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We then started brainstorming what we might be doing with the soap:<\/p>\n I asked them if they could think of anything that doesn’t involve cleaning things and they only came up with one idea:<\/p>\n Experience 1: a small piece into the microwave:<\/p>\n Sugarplum’s mind was blown as Honeybun exclaimed “WHAT?!?!?”: What does it feel like? \u00a0Sugarplum thinks it looks and feels like popcorn. \u00a0Doodle tried to eat it but I don’t think it tasted very good (nothing a good hand and mouth washing can’t take care of, good thing it’s 99.44% natural, right?)<\/p>\n Experience 2: what could we possibly be doing with these items?<\/p>\n Clean mud of course! (a great sensory experience I learned while teaching preschool in Oklahoma)<\/p>\n Here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n![\"SONY](\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DSC01244.jpg\")

<\/a>I handed Honeybun the bar of Ivory soap and told her we were going to play with it today. She asked what it was and I said “can you figure it out?” I had her read the label (which oddly doesn’t say “soap” anywhere!) Then I had her smell it and she “couldn’t smell anything.” I had her squish it and she said it was hard and not bendy. I opened the package a little and had her smell again and she still couldn’t smell anything.<\/p>\n<\/a>I gave the bar to Doodle and he promptly ripped it open but wasn’t interested in smelling it.<\/p>\n<\/a>When Sugarplum woke up she took the bar and immediately knew it was soap and thinks it smells like strawberries.<\/p>\n\n

I did make Honeybun do one good squish which she said she hated but Sugarplum is still going strong and just proclaimed “I could do this for a really long time!”<\/p>\n
