This homemade play-dough is made with real food ingredients... and the best part? The kids and grand-kids can all help. This is a great indoor activity for those cooler days approaching.
Are you ready to get started? Let’s do this!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sea salt
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil
- 2 tbsp. cream of tarter
- 2 cups of water
- Optional:
essential oils
HOW TO MAKE IT
This is probably the easiest recipe that you will ever make!
- Combine all of the above ingredients (except food coloring) into a pot and stir well.
- Place on a low-medium heat and stir constantly. Don’t stop stirring or your play-dough will be gross LOL... As you stir, you will start to develop a play-dough consistency. You know when the play-dough is ready when it starts to have a slight yellow tint to it.
- Take the play-dough out of the pan and place onto parchment paper to cool on your counter top. At this point, you can divide the dough into however many colors you are wanting to make. Four is a good number here but you can do more... you just won’t have just as much of each color.
- Add a touch of food coloring to each ball and let the kids go to town kneading the color into the dough.
Let us know how much fun you had making this easy Play Dough! Now, add 6-8 drops of desired essential oils for fun aromatherapy play-dough. The color and essential oils are optional but definitely a great addition. See different options below for play-dough essential oil recipes.- Once the color and oils are absorbed, you can store in 4 oz. glass mason jars. Keep it in the fridge to help it last longer... as long as 6-8 weeks!
