Aromatherapy Play Dough

Post by: Genevieve McLachlan in Blog, blogs
Want a fun time activity❓ Make playdough with your kids.

This recipe is easy, smells incredible, and skips all the junk in store-bought versions. Plus, you get to add whatever essential oils you want for aromatherapy while they play.

Ingredients:
💧2 cups flour
💧2 cups colored water
💧1 cup salt
💧1 tablespoon olive oil
💧1 teaspoon cream of tartar
💧5 drops of essential oils 

Instructions:
  1. Combine all ingredients, except essential oils, in a large saucepan and stir until combined.
  2. Once combined, put over medium heat. Using a spatula, continue to stir ingredients together until it forms a ball. Note: Don’t overcook as it will lead to dry play dough.
  3. Remove from heat and cool on parchment paper.
  4. Once cool, add five drops of your favourite essential oil and knead until thoroughly combined.
  5. You’re done❗ Just store in an air-tight container in the fridge for months of fun.

Have you made homemade playdough before❓

A child is playing with yellow playdough, shaping it into a caterpillar. A small red piece of playdough is held in their hand, about to be attached to the caterpillar's head.
