Peppermint, Orange and Lemon are fun oils to add to home made play dough. It will help chase those rainy day blues away!
Here is the list of ingredients.
2 cups flour
2 cups colored water. Make sure you make your colors very dark because when they are mixed with the flour they will get lighter. I used yellow for lemon, orange for Orange and red for peppermint.
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
10 drops essential oils (the original recipe calls for 5 but it wasn’t enough for me)
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients (except for essential oils) in a large bowl and stir until well mixed.
Note: There will still be some lumps but they will cook out later.

2. Once combined pour into a large pan over medium heat. Using a spatula, continue to stir ingredients together until it forms a ball. Just when you think that maybe you should cook it a little more take if off the heat. It will continue to cook as you kneed the dough.
Note: Don’t overcook or your dough will get too dry

Once cool, add 10 drops of your favorite essential oil and knead until thoroughly combined. I repeated this recipe three times to make three colors and scents.

I found these heart zip lock bags at the Dollar Store. The dough will keep for a couple of months in your refrigerator!
