Homemade Aromatherapy Play-dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1-1/2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup water
- Few drops of food coloring
- 1/4 tsp essential oil of choice
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar and stir together. *
- Combine the oil, water and food coloring and essential oil in a separate measuring cup. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth and lump free.
- Cook over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes. Mixture will get clumpy and then start to pull away from the pan. This is when it's almost done- as soon as it all pulls away scrape it to a ball and remove from the pan. Allow to cool and start using!
Notes
*This recipe makes one pretty large batch of playdough. If you want smaller amounts of different colors. You can hold off on adding the food coloring until the liquids are mixed into the dry ingredients and separate it that way. For this batch I doubled the recipe and made 4 different colors.
