Sudsy Dough™ is a new interactive bath toy that doubles as a mold-able scented dough and a cleansing soap! We created this fun sensory soap to make bath time fun for our daughter who didn’t really enjoy time in the tub. Now she asks for a bath every night!Kids can squeeze and squish Sudsy Dough in the bath, rub it on as a cleansing body wash, or take it outside the tub and make custom-shaped soaps! Sudsy dough shapes will dry to become mini bars of scented soap when left out in open air. Each ball also has a bath toy hidden inside!

* Doubles as a sensory bath toy and cleansing body wash* Moisturizing thanks to Shea butter & coconut oil* Comes in a variety of fragrances and colors* Mild foaming agent creates suds* Paraben-free, phthalate-free, and sulfate-free* Handmade by moms in the USA!
