What a fantastic idea! I'll have to remember this tip when I have my daughers 1st birthday at our local park!
Great idea! For my outside taps we have both hot and cold water. To get cleaned up after gardening I drill a hole in a bar of ivory soap, then slip a long shoe lace through the hole. The grandkids love to hang the soap around their necks so they can have an "outdoor shower".
Great idea. I'll put it in our monthly newsletter for our little community. Of course, I'll credit you and let everyone know about the ThriftyFun website.
Thanks.

Terrific idea! Will do it myself and pass it on. The other great thing about this is that now I can fill up the watering cans at night to save time in the morning. I'll just dip the soap in the top to make the water unappealing to mosquitos. I'd been thinking of bringing a small container of dish soap out for that purpose, but this is even better, and neater!
Thank you. The last family gathering we had was in a state park so they had faucets where we were. But, the soap came in handy as we had a bunch of little ones who needed good hand washes before we ate. I left it hanging there for the next group.
What a thoughtful thing to do! Our parks (at least in my small city in OH) leave something to be desired where soap and water needs are concerned.
This is a great tip for gardeners. Take an old pair of pantyhose (or old knee high) and put a bar of soap inside. Tie a knot, keeping the soap in place in the toe (foot). Then tie around water spigot and knot.
Good way to keep hands clean after working around yard or working in your garage. You could also use the pieces of soap you have left from using for hands or bath inside. Happy Gardening.

A great use for those little extra bits of bar soap is to take a mesh sack (I use the ones avocados or onions come in) and fill it with the extra bits of soap.
