Totally Cool Soapmaking for Kids

This is wonderful book! The projects are easy and simple enough for a child to do, but fun and nice enough for any adult to do with pride. The pictures and colorful and bright and she explains each project fully with helpful do's and don'ts to keep you on track. There is a good variety of projects for people who want to make other body treats (not just soap). Her packaging ideas are lovely and fun. I rate this book highly because it is cool and fun just like the title says.
