For this experiment you'll need one kid, one bar of soap, one microwave-safe plate, and a microwave. You can also use food coloring if you feel so inclined. |
In goes the soap! |
Nothing special, it's just a bar of soap. |
Navigating the complex screens of the microwave. |
We tried one second (nothing), five seconds (still nothing), fifteen seconds (little something), and then leapt to 30 seconds. |
This is what we saw. |
Exteme closeup. |
Poke the soap time. Note: It can be hot in the center so be careful. |
It's over when it turns into dust. |

Might have to put ivory soap on the shopping list. Was there fun to be had for a while, or was it short lived?!
About 45 minutes of fun but that might have gone longer if I had additional bars to blow up. Hen also used the soap dust afterwards in the bath for an additional 30 to 40 minutes of play.
We tried this a year or so ago, and the dust made our eyes, nose, mouth totally sting. It was so uncomfortable we never wanted to try it again. Maybe I nuked it too long?
