Easy DIY Halloween Play Dough Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 cups cornstarch
1 cup white or clear hair conditioner
Orange food gel
Black food gel
Optional-Pumpkin pie spice
Optional-Marshmallow flavoring
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large mixing bowl, add the cornstarch and hair conditioner. Stir with a spatula until a soft dough begins to form. Depending on the type of hair conditioner you use, you may have to add more cornstarch. Just experiment until you achieve the right texture for your play dough.
2. Once a soft dough forms, use your hands and start kneading the dough until it becomes firmer (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Divide the dough up into three equal parts and transfer 2 of the parts to separate mixing bowls. Set aside the extra part for later use. One bowl will remain white dough.
4. Add orange food color to the first bowl. It’s easier to just use your hands to knead the dough to incorporate the color through out. Gets a bit messy as you will get some food color on your hands (unless you wear gloves) but it easily washes off with a little Dawn liquid soap and water.
5. Add black food color to the other bowl and follow the above steps to color the dough.
6. Optional– add pumpkin pie spice to your orange play dough and marshmallow flavoring to the white play dough for some awesome fall scents.
7. Transfer the dough to a silicone mat, add some fun stuff like and watch your kids have hours of fun!
8. Store the play dough in ziplock bags or you can get cute small containers with lids at the dollar store.
9. ENJOY!!
Oh and I think the perfect to affix to the little containers are for only $1.99 for six of ’em!
Happy Halloween Party Planning!
