Directions: 

After gathering supplies, use the scissors to cut the black foam into Jack O’Lantern eyes, and a mouth. My child didn’t want the Jack O’Lantern to have a nose, but of course you could add one of those too.

Place the craft foam body parts into the bag, then pour soap into the bag. Add just enough so that when the bag lays flat with the air pressed out, soap covers the surface.

Invite kids to move the foam eyes, mouth, and nose around in the bag to create a Jack O’Lantern face. If desired, seal the top of the bag with heavy tape (like Duct tape) so children cannot open the bag and pour out the soap!
