This play dough lasts for a long time and smells delicious!
Our Favorite Homemade Play Dough Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tarter (this will help preserve your play dough)
Food coloring
Optional 8 drops essential oil with your scent of choice (we used rose oil for pink play dough and lavender oil for purple)
Optional glitter
Combine water, oil, salt, cream of tartar, and a few drops of food coloring in a saucepan. *If you want multiple colors of play dough, you can separate this mixture into various bowls before adding the food coloring.
Heat until warm, but do not bring to a boil.
Remove from heat.
Mix in flour.
Stir and then (when cool enough to touch) knead dough with your hands until the dough is smooth. Have your children help you with this step.
Add essential oils and/or glitter as you knead.
You can store your play dough for several months in any air-tight container such as a tupperware, mason jar, or a small storage bin.
We also love making this as a gift for friends and family to enjoy.
