Homemade decorative soaps
Artists: Felix, Zelda and Andrea McMillin
Category: Crafting, soap making, crayon making
I have tried to lean in to my kids interests during the pandemic because I think that supporting them with their creative endeavors will help them as they develop. We have made UV art, practiced our kitchen skills including chocolate sculpting, made our own bath bombs, wrote our own wizard “magic” recipes, and played with makeup and temp tattoos. I have tried to focus on making one good memory with them every day, whether it was doing one of the above activities, or even just going on a walk or reading with them. I don’t need to be a perfect parent all of the time, if I can make this scary time fun or special then that’s what they will remember. My husband set up emails for them when they were born so we have been sending them these memories so we can visit them later.
