Vat 19 Mini Gummy Bear Soap Review & Giveaway

I don't know why, but my kids hate washing their hands. They moan and groan about it, and I always have to send them back in after going to the bathroom because they just won't do it without coaxing.  But when I showed them the mini gummy bear soaps we received from Vat 19, I heard a phrase I never imagined I would hear them utter. "Can we wash our hands right now!"  Of course, I said yes and we went into the bathroom to check them out together.

The first thing I have to mention is how much they look like real gummy bears.  Its pretty cool. And they smell like them too. If you have kids that aren't old enough to read or who won't bother trying to, make sure you don't leave these in the kitchen because they could be easily mistaken for candy.  You'll be tempted to pop one in your mouth too because the sweet fruity smells are really tempting.

I was also really suprised by how well they actually worked. I thought they would be too small to get a good washing, but they lather up nicely. And as small as they are, they each last for three to four uses. They come in packs of 25 so they should last at least a few weeks, making them well worth the great price of $6.95. They are a great way to encourage your kids to wash, especially during cold and flu season.

The Gummy Bear Soap is only one of hundreds of cool and unique gift ideas that you can find at Vat 19.  Connect with them on facebook to keep up with the latest additions. They have tons of items for both kids and grown ups. Here is just a small sampling of things I thought were neat.
