Candy Cane Playdough Recipe

Candy Cane Playdough😊⁣ ⁣ You’ll need:⁣ 2 cups flour⁣ 1/2 cup salt⁣ 2 Tbsp cream of tartar⁣ 2 Tbsp vegetable oil⁣ 1 1/2 cup boiling water⁣ Red Food Coloring⁣ White Food Coloring⁣ Peppermint Essential Oil⁣ ⁣ Directions:⁣ ⁣ Mix together the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil. Pour in the water and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough to smooth it out.⁣ ⁣ Separate the dough in half and create two balls of dough. Make a small indention in the top of each ball and add food coloring inside. Knead each ball to incorporate the food coloring throughout — you might want to wear gloves to avoid stains on your hands!⁣ ⁣ Once the food coloring is spread throughout, you’ll have one ball of red play dough and one ball of white play dough.⁣ ⁣ Now it’s time to add your Peppermint Essential Oil! We love the way this smells — just like Candy Canes! Even better, the smell is invigorating and can support mental alertness.⁣ ⁣ Make a small indention in the top of each ball and add 5-7 drops of oil. Knead the play dough to disperse the oil throughout the dough.⁣ ⁣ Let your kids have fun twisting the two colors around each other, mixing them together for a marbled effect, or cutting out shapes with cookie cutters. The play possibilities are endless!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
