The ivory soap in the microwave pin....

We did it! We actually braved cutting up a bar of ivory into fourths then putting all the pieces together on a plate in the microwave. The kids were in awe as they watched the bar grow. After it was done and cooled for a minute, we took it out and put it in a bowl to be displayed on their bathroom counter where they can break off a tiny piece to wash their hands. This immediately sparked the desire to do exactly that for Madi. :)
