Nailmatic Soap Maker Croco

If getting your child to wash their hands has become a daily negotiation, a mild standoff, or a full theatrical production... this might be the thing that fixes it.

The Nailmatic Soap Maker Croco is a proper make-it-yourself kit where children melt down a soap bar, pour it into a mould, wait (the hardest part), unmold it, and end up with their very own crocodile-shaped soap that smells of cola. Made in France, with 89% natural-origin ingredients, it is genuinely lovely stuff. And the best bit? They made it themselves, so they actually want to use it.

We love it because:

• The three-step process (melt, mold, unmold) is simple enough to feel easy and satisfying enough to feel like a proper achievement.
• The finished soap smells of cola, which is just the right amount of ridiculous to make a child absolutely delighted with it.
• Made in France with 89% natural-origin ingredients, enriched with coconut oil, and completely free from preservatives. Vegan and cruelty-free too.
• The formula contains kaolin (a gentle white clay) and coconut oil, so it is genuinely kind to skin as well as fun to make.
• Once it is on the bathroom shelf, hand-washing stops being an argument. That alone is worth a lot.

What's in the box:

• 1 soap bar (cola fragrance)
• Cardboard spacers to cut out
• 1 natural latex crocodile mould

Great for:

• Suitable for ages 7 and over
• Children who need a compelling reason to wash their hands (so, most of them)
• Birthday gifts, rainy afternoon activities, a brilliant introduction to making and crafting
• A lovely confidence boost, the quiet pride of using something you made yourself
