So i know this isnt technically something you you, but this was too good not to share, because who doesnt like play dough? This is the easiest recipe to make, plus it smells so good! It has two ingredients, cornstarch and hair conditioner. When I first read about it I thought it had to be too good to be true, but thankfully I was proven wrong.
It was such a hit with my two year old that she played with it for 2 hours! Two whole hours of quietly playing by herself, this mommy almost didn’t know what to do with herself.
For full disclosure I did add a few drops of food coloring. I also didn’t have 2 cups of cornstarch so I just halved the recipe. Just remember the ratio of 1:2 for either having or doubling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup hair conditioner
- 2 cups cornstarch
Directions
- In a bowl pour your cup of hair conditioner. If you are adding food coloring add it to the conditioner, not the cornstarch or else you will get little clumps of color -not that I would know. 😄
- Add your cornstarch carefully to the conditioner and mix with a spatula by hand.
- When it starts clumping nicely, feel free to mix with your hands and enjoy.
- If it is to sticky, add more cornstarch, or if it is too dry add more hair conditioner.
