This Relaxing DIY Lavender Playdough Recipe is a great kids activity! This playdough is infused with lavender essential oil making it very soothing and relaxing to play with. (makes about 1 lb. 11.6 ounces)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup salt
- 2 tablespoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- 5 drops lavender essential oil, or amount desired
- blue gel food coloring, amount to desired saturation
- red get food coloring, amount to desired saturation
Instructions
- In a large, heat safe mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, salt and cream of tartar) together.
- Bring 1½ cups water to a boil, add desired amount of blue and red food coloring (more food coloring can be kneaded into the dough later as well). Add in lavender essential oil.
- Gradually add the hot water to the flour mixture, stirring with a baking spatula between additions. When it comes together, turn out onto a floured surface and knead until the playdough is even in texture and not sticky anymore. As it cools, it will get less sticky. You can add more flour to the mixture as you are kneading to make it more dry and less sticky.
Notes
- For optimal storage, store in Zipup bags with the air squeezed out in the refrigerator.
