Growing up I used to love when my mom would make play dough! The possibilities to create were endless and the texture so calming. Now I use essential oils with kids and it’s taken play dough to a whole new level!
After a busy day, or when my littles are extra wild I love to use this play dough as a tool to help them wind down a bit. Some other great recipes for kids are Finger Paint, Bubbles, and Sand!
