Therapeutic Play Dough

I was super excited to come across a recipe for Sick Day Play Dough.  However, I played with the recipe and directions a bit and made it my own.  Here's the super exciting part:  You can customize this recipe to fit whatever need your children (or you) may have!  Consider this, you could make Stress Away play dough for those really hairy days when your kids just need to calm down (or when Mama needs a stress ball to squeeze), Peace and Calming play dough, etc....  This is a super easy, FUN way to get oils absorbed into your children.  I only endorse Young Living therapeutic grade oils, especially for use with children.  You can double or triple this recipe, then divide out and make play dough for multiple types of use.

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup salt
2 Tablespoons cream of tarter
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
2 cups water
Drops of essential oil until very fragrant
*optional to add some food dye.  My kids didn't want "boring play dough"

Combine all ingredients except for essential oil in a saucepan.  Heat on medium heat while stirring until it is the consistency of play dough.  I found that using an electric mixer was the easiest way to do this and keep the consistency nice and smooth.

Immune boosting play dough - Thieves oil and orange oil (my kids much prefer the scent if I add orange oil to cut the spicy scent of thieves).

Stress-relief play dough - Add Stress Away oil

Relaxing play dough - Add Peace and Calming or Lavender oil

Uplifting play dough - Add Joy oil.  It eases tension and uplifts the spirit.  Great for crabby days.

Focus play dough - Lavender, vetiver, and cedarwood (I think I would add some lemon to this to brighten the scent).


There you have it.  I hope you have as much fun with this as I am having!
