Soap flake paper weights

Hi. Just moulded some soap flakes with water into paper weight shapes. Once they're dried and hard, can the children paint them? Sorry, sounds a bit of a silly question but I just wondered whether the paint would peel off or anything. Wanted to give them as gifts for the parents.

They sound really good

Unsure about the paint though - could you not do a test on a small part underneath or something ?

Do you have any pics ?

I'm not sure about the paint either cos we added paint directly into the mixture when we squidged it up. Let us know how it turns out if you give it a go!

No pics yet. They don't look anything much at the moment. If they can be painted then I'll take some pics.

Mmmm, interesting! I thought they were dry so I gave them to the boys to paint. Next minute, my son is squidging it all in between his fingers and trying to eat it! Will wait longer next time!
