My son has really gotten into play dough lately. He can sit for hours and cut and roll it. A friend of mine share a super great recipe of Facebook and of course I just had to try it. So what did I think?
Lets first look at the very simple ingredients:
2 cups of cornstarch
1 cup of hair conditioning
food coloring of your choice
I would suggest mixing the color in to the conditioner before mixing with the cornstarch. On our first try I did not do this and the colors didn't blend well till we had played with it for some time. Also the smell was great! I used Herbal Essence conditioner. You could always use a plan light sent and add sents like essential oils to make it more smelly. I love lavender.
My over all thoughts on the play dough:
1. It was super easy to make.
2. It was a winner with the kid!
3. Can be used for science/math as well as motor skills and play.
4. It left my hands feeling really soft!! WINNER WINNER!!
Over all I def give this activity 5 *****
Go, Teach and Learn! And always have FUN!
