Therapeutic Non-Toxic Playdough Recipe

So I set out to make some playdough for him. As it was always daddy’s favourite thing to play with as a child, I knew I would please both of my boys at home. I didn’t want to just buy a commercial Play-Do at a toy store, knowing it still contains toxic ingredients and well aware that it will land in my little one's mouth at one point. So, I researched and was overwhelmed with the number of natural recipes. I chose one that sounded promising and easy to make and gave it a go.

 

Here is the recipe:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup water

To give it all some colour, you can use natural food colouring, or look for whatever you have in your house. I added some Matcha powder to create a nice pastel green dough and also some purple sweet potato powder for a nice pastel purple!

Being an Essential Oils lover, I of course had to try and infuse some there as well, to give an added purpose to the play. These were my favourite ones from Young Living:

Frankincense for Focus
Peppermint for Energy
Lemon for Clarity
Citrus Fresh for Creativity
Lavender for Comfort

You can try to match the scents to the colours as well 

Have fun making this for your little one, or with your little one – knowing that you have created something safe and completely toxic-free!
