Kid-Friendly Melt & Pour Soap Making Experience (Ages 7 & Up with Adult Supervision)
Group Soap Making Class at Marsh Hen Mill Farm Pavilion
Join us for a fun, hands-on creative soap making experience designed for kids, families, and beginners of all ages! In this safe and playful workshop, we use a no-lye melt & pour soap base, making it easy for everyone to create beautiful, custom soaps without any harsh chemical handling.
Gina will guide the group through a relaxed, interactive class where you’ll design your own unique soaps using colors, fragrances, botanicals, crystals, and natural textures like grits and grains from Marsh Hen Mill. Pour into fun-shaped molds and take home your own creations!
This is a joyful, sensory-rich experience perfect for creativity, connection, and hands-on learning.
