Have the children tear toilet tissue into small pieces. Provide two or three bars of Ivory® soap and assist the children with a hand grater to grate the soap. Havethe children mix the tissue paper and soap in individual plastic tubs. As they mix it, use descriptive words such as “dry,” “sticky” and “waxy.” Encourage them to smell the scent, and use words such as “fresh” and “clean.” Provide small spray bottles of water. Have the children spray small amounts of water into their tubs, and encourage them to mix it with their hands. Continue to add water. Ask for their observations of what is happening to the tissue and soap.
