Make some fun, interactive play dough with us! For this project you will need:
- 2 cups corn starch
- 1/2 cup of baby lotion
- Green food coloring (or yellow + blue)
- Accessories like sticks, stones, leaves, pom poms, toy animals, etc. You can use anything you have around the house!
Combine the baby lotion and food coloring in a small bowl until you get your desired green color. Next, mix the green baby lotion and corn starch together. Let your child do this part with their hands. It will get a bit messy, but fun! Once you begin to mix the dough in the bowl, you might need to add or adjust the ingredients to get the right consistency. It will take some good kneading for the ingredients to start to blend well together to form the play dough, but just keep mixing! And adult might need to help to get it solidified, but once it’s ready, it’s time to play!
At this point you can let your child work with the play dough and add any accessories that they want to. This could be stones, toys, leaves, etc. Let them use their imagination to create a fun and interactive play session!
