If your playdough at home has seen better days, this recipe is quick and easy, and the best part is, that it’s only two ingredients. With these two common household ingredients, this fun at-home playdough results in a super soft dough you can play with for hours… and the best part is it’s customizable.
Playdough is fun, soothing, calming, a stress reliever, and a fun thing to play with. Win-win!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup conditioner or baby lotion works too
- 2 cups cornstarch
- food coloring (optional)
- essential oils (optional)
Directions:
Mix the conditioner and cornstarch in a bowl until dough forms. Start by using a spoon before using your hands.
Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired. You can split up the batch of white dough to make different colors with the food coloring. Essential oils can add a pleasant scent. Use as you wish. We like orange!
Form and play with dough. Store it in a baggie when finished playing; it should last about a week.
This recipe makes enough playdough for 2 kids.
