Yup, this was tried and tested and was totally terrific!!
Ingredients:
2 cups Flour
2 Tblspns Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Salt
2 Tblspns Cream of Tarter
1 and 1/2 cups boiling water
Glycerine
Food Colouring
Few drops of your favourite essential oil
How to make 5 minute scented play dough:
- In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, cream of tartar and vegetable oil.
*key point of control* dissolve the cream of tartar and salt in boiling water to avoid a grainy texture.
- Add boiling water in increments to the mixture and mix with a spoon until mixture is thoroughly combined
- Add food colouring
*tip* remove dough from bowl, and divide into two equal halves, add two complementary colours of food colouring along with two complimentary essential oil essence.
- Knead the two batches until the colour is mixed through evenly and the play dough is smooth
*tip* add lemon and eucalyptus flavours when winter sniffles start or lavender oil for a turn down activity before bed.
*tool* add more flour to toughen up the dough to provide weak finger muscles with a fun challenge.
