A Request for Purple Playdough

Mixing

I added a little cornflour to the mix to see if it would soften the dough. An unnecessary addition so I discovered. If anything, it dried out the dough a little.
(BTW, if you have littles have you ever made gloop? A bowl of cornflour and water mixed together constitutes a very good rainy day activity that feels a little like a scientific experiment).

Playdough

A more worthy addition was a few drops of lavender essential oil, the scent of which is reactivated each time warm hands work the dough.

She Grabs

A new sensory experience for the smallest one.

Oh wonderful and the medicinal properties from the oil being steeped into your babies hands and skin from the dough. What a wonderful idea. I love this. Note to self: must create this at some point...xxxx

The mixing colors looks wonderful. Makes me want to dive right in and play with it myself.
