Jelly Soaps and a Towel

I recently went to a child's birthday party and as usual didn't know what kind of present to bring. After a bit of thinking I decided to make jelly soaps (like this soap snow globe) and decorate a towel. Here are my DIY presents to make bathtime more fun:

The jelly soaps are colorful and sea shell shaped; I used a candy mold and made three batches (blue, pink, and purple), but I over did it on the blue and it bled onto the others when stored creating a pretty cool dye effect. To decorate the towel I decided on the phrase "squeaky clean", drew it on with bleach and a paintbrush, and added some splatters to cover a few drips. I'm using the leftover jelly soap that I poured into pyramids and find they are easier to use/make sudsy when soaked in water for a bit.
