DIY Aromatherapy Play Dough

​I have always loved playing with play dough as a child (I still do). I find it extremely relaxing and therapeutic and adding essential oils  just takes playing with dough to whole new level of fun, for young and old.

I suggest you start out with oils such as Serenity, Balance, Lavender and Peppermint.

Aromatherapy Play Dough

Ingredients:​
​• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups coloured water
• 1 cup salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 5 drops of essential oils

​Instructions:

• Combine all ingredients, except for essential oils, in a large saucepan and stir until combined.
• Once combined, put over medium heat. Using a spatula, continue to stir ingredients together until it forms a ball.
• Note: Don’t overcook as it will lead to dry play dough.
• Remove from heat and cool on baking paper.
• Once cool, add five drops of your favourite essential oil and knead until thoroughly combined.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for months of fun.

I hope you enjoyed this post and would love to hear back from you.
