Aromatherapy Play Putty
For the kids in your life or the kid in you! Use natural ingredients to make it yourself (and avoid strange chemicals), then enjoy the stress-relief and simple fun of kneading and creating for endless hours of joy.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 3 tablespoons of cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
- natural food coloring (optional)
- 10-20 drops of the essential oil of your choice
Instructions: Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and fractionated coconut oil in a large bowl. Add the boiling water and stir. Add more water or flour as needed for consistency if it is too dry or too runny.
You can also add all natural food coloring, available online or at many specialty stores, which makes the play putty more aesthetically pleasing.
When choosing essential oils to add, you can pick by color, or for relaxing stress-relieving putty, Lavender is a great choice.
Tip:
Be sure to store in an airtight container so it doesn't dry out, but you can also add a little more distilled water and knead until soft if needed to keep it moist next time you're using it.
