There isn’t much to say about this recipe except that it’s wobbly and fun and simple and natural, and the kids love the sensory experience!
Wobbly Jelly Soap
Makes: depends! Prep time: 10-20 min. (for kids) + setting time
Ingredients
- 100 g hot water
- 10 g gelatin powder
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 100 g liquid castile soap
- colourant (as much as you like; must be liquid)
- 10 drops of essential oils (optional)
My Choice of Essential Oils
Some essential oils are better suited than others, for use with children. Essential oils that are typically regarded as safe, when diluted properly, include bergamot, geranium, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, lime, mandarin, orange, rose, spearmint, tangerine & tea tree (note that this is not a complete list of ‘kid-safe’ oils).

Extra Equipment Required
Silicone moulds (small, any size)
Method
1. Boil the kettle (make sure there is enough water inside).
2. Grab a glass jug and weigh in the hot water and gelatin powder, and measure in the salt.
3. Whisk until the gelatin powder has mostly dissolved.
4. Now weigh in the castile soap, and add the colouring, and essential oils (if you’re using them). Whisk again.
5. Pour the mixture into the moulds and pop them in the fridge to set – this could take a few hours.
6. Once set, pop your jellies out of their moulds and transfer them into a container.
To Use
Take one of these jellies out of the fridge and with you into the bath or shower. Use them just as you would soap, rinsing well when you’re done.
Recipe Notes
- Each jelly is designed to be used once.
- They should keep for a week or so (keep them in the fridge between uses).
