Orange Scented Play Dough

This homemade play dough recipe stores well (it has lasted all summer long!) and doesn’t make your hands dry so it’s a definite keeper in our family plus, my 4-year old is loving how “orange-y” it smells! Note: Not edible! (;

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
1 teaspoon red food coloring
4 tablespoons cooking oil
2 cups flour
4 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 drop of orange oil

Instructions

In a large pot, combine all ingredients.
Cook over medium heat for five minutes, until a ball of dough forms.
Cool the dough for five minutes then knead with your hands till smooth.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge when not in use.
That’s all there is to it! Find some cookie cutters and let your imagination run wild.

Notes

This recipe also makes a great gift for young kiddos! Just cut out fun shapes, place inside a jar then paint the lid to match the color of dough and you have an inexpensive gift the little will actually play with.
