Young children especially love shaping these little soaps to look like semi-precious stones. Make sure you make enough to keep for yourselves.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups grated transparent glycerin soap
1/4 cup glycerin (available at drug stores)
1/4 cup water
Wax paper

In a medium sauce pan over low heat, or in the microwave, melt together 2 cups of the glycerin soap along with the glycerin and the water.  Let cool slightly and add the remaining 1/4 cup grated glycerin soap.  When the mixture is cooled, but not hardened, scoop out small, walnut-sized amounts and roll into pebbles of different sizes. Set on a piece of wax paper and let cure. This could take a few days.
