Essential Oils for Kids: Magical Playdough

May 26, 2016 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

Who wants quiet and relaxed kids!? I do! I do! If you need a few minutes of quiet time try this playdough recipe made with Lavender essential oils. Most kids love playing with playdough and with the added lavender, everyone is in for a treat!

Magical Playdough for kids

BASIC HOMEMADE PLAYDOUGH RECIPE

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 tablespoons liquid cooking oil (I used olive oil, since that’s all I had, but anything will work!)
  • Food coloring
  • 6-8 drops of essential oils of your choice (I chose Lavender because I needed some quiet time)
  • Sparkles (optional)

 

Instructions

In a sauce pan, stir the flour, salt, and cream of tartar together.

Add in the water, cooking oil, and food coloring and mix until smooth.

Turn on the heat to medium-low, and stir until the mixture forms a ball.

Once the mixture has reached playdough-consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 3-4 minutes.

Knead in the essential oils of your choice.

Store in an air-tight container. (Storing it in the fridge will make it last even longer!)

 

Other essential oil options:

  • Lime: for uplifting and energizing
  • Lemon: for focus and clarity
  • Lavender: for calming and promoting restful sleep
  • Wild Orange: for uplifting and energizing
  • Grapefruit: uplifting and relieves tension
  • Peppermint: invigorating and provides mental clarity
