To make your own Jelly Soap Foam is an absolute breeze AND you only need two ingredients! It smells so delicious & is wonderful for some good old fashioned sensory play!
I’ve seen this beautiful soap foam done before at the wonderful Fun at Home with Kids and Learn, Play, Imagine and I’ve always wanted to try it… my kids love getting their hands into loads of sensory play!
I had plenty of jelly left over from my daughter’s recent Rainbow Party & I wanted to try something a little different with this recipe…
Behold my JELLY SOAP FOAM! Yes, I am excited!
To make your own, you will need (per colour)
2 tbs Jelly Crystals
2 tbs Dish Soap
1/2 cup warm water
THAT’S IT!
Step 1
Add 1/2 cup of warm water to a cup
Step 2
Add 2tbs of Jelly Crystals and mix until dissolved
Step 3
Add the 2tbs of Dish soap and mix
Step 4
Pour these contents into a Food processor (you can also use beaters or if you’re super fit – an egg whisk). Mix until the bubbles fill to the top (approximately one minute).
Step 5
Pour your contents into a large tub & let the kids play (I did 5 separate colours for the cool rainbow effect)

I work with children who have physical disabilities and am always trying to find or think of activities for our fun Friday session, so thankyou for your very helpful idea’s.
Ok what your calling jellies. …is that Jell-o for those of us from the states? Or something you would use to make jelly? Like I would find in the canning isle at the grocery store? My oldest son has a sensory disorder and I would love to try this with him! Thankyou so much for sharing!
Hi Lindsey, I think it’s the same as Jell-o if that’s what you use to make Jelly? Louise x
Silly question…but what are jelly crystals?
I think you may call them Jello? Louise x
Are jelly crystals the same l same as jello powder?
Hi Ivory, Yes, I think they are…is that what you use to make Jelly?

i don’t think so.
To clarify, since there seems to be confusion, in the states jelly is what you spread on toast, like jam, jell-o is the jiggly stuff that you mix up and let set in the fridge. She is using what we know as jell-o.
