This Minty Candy Cane Scented Play Dough is wonderful play dough for the kids to play with this Christmas. It has a blend of peppermint essence to mimic that of a candy cane which we all love at this time of the year. It is also coloured green and speckled with red glitter for a Christmassy colour theme.
What you will need?
1 Cup Plain Flour
1 Tablespoon Oil
200ml Water
50ml Peppermint Essence
½ Cup Salt
2 Teaspoons Cream of Tartar
Green Food Colouring
Tablespoon Red Glitter
How to make it?
- Pour all dry ingredients, flour, salt, glitter and cream of tartar together in a saucepan.
- Add oil, food colouring, peppermint essence and water to dry ingredients.
- I use a whisk before heating as I find this helps remove lumps and blends the ingredients well.
- Cook over medium heat constantly stirring until it becomes a thick blob.
- Then turn out onto a clean surface and knead into a smooth blob.
- Allow the play dough to cool before playing with it.
- Store in a plastic zip lock bag or air tight container.
Wonderful post! I think it would be fun to make red and white dough and twist it together, too. The green of your dough is brilliant, though. Mine usually turn out pastel.
I absolutely love the idea of mixing the different coloured play dough together to make play dough candy canes. We will definitely have to give this a try. Thanks
What a great sensory idea…i love seeing what else you do with playdough!!
I so need to make play dough don’t I?! Okay Janice, you’ve convinced me, off to the shops I go! xx
