This summer has flown by! I mean it’s really a solid 2 months and school starts tomorrow. This year my son moves on to Pre-K and he seems pretty excited. We decided to do this hand scrub for his new teachers and I hope they like it. Not only is it easy to make, but who doesn’t like soft hands? I may even make some more this Christmas for gift baskets.
I doubled the recipe and here’s how much it makes. I got 6 mini jars and 2 regular Mason jars.
