Enhancing a Playdough Recipe with Oils!

Hi! My name is Erica Leggiero and I blog over at eLeMeNO-P Kids. I am so excited today to bring to you my favorite essential oil play recipe: Lavendar Playdough!

Now, just when you thought playdough couldn’t get any better…it can! With just a few drops of essential oil, your homemade playdough recipe is brought to whole new levels of awesomeness.

We’ve been using essential oils in our family for a year now, and I’ve been so happy with the various, amazing ways we can incorporate them into our daily lives.  Including our play recipes!

For this particular playdough recipe, we chose our favorite essential oil, Lavender. Lavender oil has calming, soothing, balancing properties and is just so aromatic that you can’t help but smile when you smell it! This is a great playdough to soothe your child, calm him down, or even relax him before bedtime.

3. Heat on med/high until mixture clumps together (this happens very quickly).

4. Stir the mixture the entire time to prevent sticking. It will begin to pull away from the sides of the pot.

5. Once it clumps nicely, put on wax paper to cool.
