Materials
Goat's Milk Soap Base (can also use Shea Butter Soap Base or Coconut Soap Base)
Clear Soap Base
Silicone Loaf Soap Mold
Pyrex Measuring Cup
Green Soap Colorant*
Red Soap Colorant*
Watermelon Fragrance Oil
Poppy Seeds

Instructions

For the Dark Green Layer:
Cut 1/2 lb. of the goat's milk soap into cubes.
Place the cubes into a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup and melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each.
When the soap is completely melted, add 10 drops of watermelon fragrance oil and green soap colorant (as much as needed to achieve the desired color). Pour 3/4 of the green soap into the bottom of the soap mold and allow to firm for 15-20 minutes.

For the Light Green Layer:
Take the remaining dark green soap (still in the Pyrex measuring cup) and add 1/4 lb. of white soap cubes.
Melt in the microwave, stir until fully mixed (will be a light green color), and pour into the soap mold. Allow to firm for 15-20 minutes.

For the White Layer:
Melt 1/4 lb. of white soap cubes in the microwave. Add 5 drops of watermelon fragrance oil, and pour into the soap mold.
Allow to firm for 15-20 minutes.

For the Red/Pink Layer:
Cut 3 lbs of clear soap base into cubes.
Microwave until fully melted, then stir in 15 drops of watermelon fragrance oil and 1 tbsp. of poppy seeds. Pour into the soap mold, and sprinkle the top with a few more poppy seeds.
Allow to firm for 90 minutes or until soap has completely hardened (time will depend on temperature and humidity)

Carefully remove the silicone liner from the wooden mold, and then remove the soap from the silicone.

This loaf mold makes an extra large batch of soap, so you can expect to get around 12-15 soaps from each batch.

Use a sharp knife to slice the soap into bars.

The watermelon soap looks red upon an opaque background, but if you allow the light to shine through it, you'll see that it's actually a bright magenta pink!

This DIY is very kid friendly and easy to make. It usually takes around 15 minutes to make depending on how fast or slow you make it. I hope you enjoy
