Abstract: A method of molding soap for forming decorative shapes includes a housing that has a top surface, a bottom surface and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the top surface and the bottom surface. A heating unit is mounted in the housing. When turned on the heating unit heats the top surface. A plurality of molds, each has a different shape. One of the molds is selected to define a selected mold. The selected mold is positioned on the top surface such that the selected mold is in thermal communication with the heating unit. A bar soap is positioned in the selected mold. The heating unit is turned on such that the bar soap melts to define fluid soap. The heating unit is turned off to allow the fluid soap to solidify to define a molded soap. The molded soap is removed from the selected mold.

Abstract: An educational tool for teaching a child to read and write includes a writing board having a writing surface and a raised rim extending around the writing surface. A displaceable writing medium is held in the tool. Indicia, such as raised letters, are distributed along the rim. The tool includes scent-impregnated plastic. The indicia and scent provide additional sensory stimulus to the child that assists the child in learning.

Abstract: An educational tool for teaching a child to read and write includes a writing board having a writing surface. A raised rim extends around the writing surface, the rim and the writing surface defining the interior of the tool for holding a displaceable writing medium. Indicia are disposed about the writing surface. The indicia provide additional sensory feedback to the child that assists the child in learning.
