DEVELOPING CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT IN OUTDOOR SPACES

RECIPE FOR HANDMADE OUTDOOR SOAP

• Take your basket and go gathering herbs, flowers and any plants that smell nice.
• Chop them carefully into tiny pieces.
• Mix the nice-smelling things with lots of soap flakes, an equal amount of porridge oats and a few spoons of water.
• Keep mixing and adding things until they are as thick as fruitcake mix.
• Form them into round balls.
• Line them up to dry in the sun and wind!
