Making playdough with baby powder and conditioner is a simple process that requires just a few ingredients. Here's how you can do it:
Ingredients:
- 1 part baby lotion or conditioner (e.g., 1/3 cup)
- 2 parts cornstarch (e.g., 2/3 cup)
- A few drops of food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the baby powder (cornstarch) and conditioner together.
- Add Color (Optional): If you want to add color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir well.
- Mix Thoroughly: Mix the ingredients until they form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too sticky, add more baby powder (cornstarch). If it's too dry, add more conditioner.
- Knead the Dough: Once the ingredients are combined, knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Play! Your homemade playdough is now ready to use.
Tips and Considerations:
- Adjust Consistency: The amount of conditioner and baby powder (cornstarch) may need to be adjusted to achieve the desired consistency.
- Storage: Store the playdough in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
- Safety: While the ingredients are generally safe, supervise children while they are playing with the playdough.
- Variations: You can experiment with different types of conditioners or lotions to achieve different textures and scents.
By following these simple steps, you can create homemade playdough with just baby powder (cornstarch) and conditioner.
