I won't be posting the entire challenge until February because otherwise it will compete with January's, which isn't the goal. It's not very specific actually as I like to leave things as open to creativity as possible, which means you'll be molding with your hands something from soap dough.
If you are preparing ahead, as advised, a good idea would be to make black and white for certain, and then make three primary colors (colored as batter and then molded)- yellow, red, blue- because you can make other colors from mixing those.
It is perfectly fine to use your own recipe and just treat it as Bee does hers, which is to pour it and cover it. Unmold after 24 hours, seal it away from air in a bag and leave it for a minimum of three days and longer is better.
I have not made dough from M&P but that is fine as well. I just wouldn't make it too squishy as you will want it to hold its shape.
Rhonda Scorpio does a lot of figures with soap:

I have to include my beloved Jack Skelington from the B&W challenge as he was hand molded.
