Homemade play dough is a must for every childhood. Who remembers rolling snakes, making animals, and punching shapes out after rolling the play dough like a fancy sous pastry chef? But what is the easiest way to make play dough at home?
Some of the recipes involve cooking the dough on the stove, but thanks to Lovilee, we have a two-minute microwave play dough recipe!
Instead of running to the shops to purchase some play dough why not follow this easy scented play dough recipe below. Make your own batch at home for your kids and make it their favourite colour by using food colouring. You can also add scents to the DIY play dough which is a great way to add another sense to your child’s playtime. Scents can also help with a child’s behaviour while playing, for example lavender essential oil has calming properties, which can help your child if they are having a tough day.
Ingredients:
1 cup Flour
1 cup Water
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
½ cup Salt
1 tbsp Oil
Food Colouring of your choice
Essential Oil of your choice
Method
Mix the water and a few drops of food colouring together.
Add oil and mix well.
Add the flour, creme of tartar, and salt.
Mix well!
Microwave for 2 minutes - mixing every 30 seconds.
Knead a few drops of essential oil into the mixture.
