Instructions

  1. 1. Add (2) cups of cornstarch to mixing bowl.

    2. Add (1) cup of lotion to the bowl.

    3. Blend with spatula, stand mixer or your hands until it resembles a crumbly pie dough.

    4. Begin blending dough with your hands (if you werent doing so already). Keep kneading until dough forms a ball and no longer sticks to your hands.

    5. Divide dough into sections and add food coloring until desired color achieved for each piece. I found 10-15 drops gave me light, pastel colors.

    6. PLAYTIME. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  1. I did find that different lotions/conditioners combine differently. So you may need to play with proportions. I found that 2:1 ratio was pretty accurate for most lotion/conditioner brands.
  2. If your dough is to dry, add more lotion or conditioner to mixture 1 Tablespoon at a time.
  3. If your dough is too sticky, add more cornstarch 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired texture achieved.
