How to Make Homemade Play Dough For the Kids!

Looking for a fun craft idea to keep kids busy?

If you’ve been wondering how to make play-dough at home, you’re in luck! By using just two common household ingredients, this fun activity results in a super soft dough you can mold… and the best part is there is no cooking required.

Playing with it is soothing and calming, and happens to be a fun way to reduce stress and anxiety for all ages!

Ingredients-

• 1 cup conditioner
• 2 cups cornstarch
• food coloring (optional)

Directions- 

1. Mix the conditioner and cornstarch in a bowl, and manipulate it until dough forms. It helps to mix it well first with a spoon and then using your hands.

2. Add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture if desired. You could also split up the batch of white dough to create different colors with the food coloring.

Note: We did not notice much transfer of color to hands when adding a few drops of food coloring.

3. Manipulate and play with dough. Store it in a sealed baggie when finished playing, and it could last about a week.

Note: This amount makes enough for 2 kids.
