It's no surprise that shower jellies have become HUGELY popular - these things are a ton of jiggly-wiggly-wobbly fun! They are like a magical cross between shower gel and a solid bar of soap - a surefire way to get clean and have fun at the same time.
Best of all, they are very very easy to make and customize to your preference! Make them clear and gently scented, or go all out with body-safe colors, sparkles, and a healthy dose of your favorite essential oils.
Bath time for the kiddies will become a barrel of laughs with these things slip-sliding around.

- 1.5 cups shower gel
- 8 -10 drops essential oil
