Product Information

The best part about making the dough yourself is getting to customize it. I liked to combine colours with scents, such as purple with lavender or eucalyptus with green.

If you want to make it simple, you can even grab a set of kid-safe essential oils that are already pre-blended. How to Make Scented Playdough After seeing a newspaper article about children making arts and craft projects out of the dough, they decided to remarket the product in the 1950s. There is no doubt how popular it became, even being inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame.Create a batch of this aromatherapy play dough for a fun spin on the classic toy, filled with the benefits and scents of your favourite essential oils. The History of Play Dough

This recipe is so simple, you probably already have all the materials in your kitchen already! Be sure to experiment with different colours and scents for your own custom scented playdough blends. Materials: You can also customize based on the effects of the essential oil, such as the uplifting nature of orange or the relaxing effects of lavender. Every time you play with the dough, you will also get to experience the benefits of the essential oils you choose. Don’t think of play dough as just for children too. Think of it like a stress ball! The Best Scents for Aromatherapy Playdough Here are the types of essential oil I have personally used with my own child. Again, please do your research beforehand. This aromatherapy play dough is also great entertainment for kid’s parties. You can double this recipe as needed to make a large batch of dough for everyone to play with. Plus, they can be used as party favours! I like to bring out cookie cutters and rolling pins for the kids to use with their dough.

Add 2-4 drops of essential oil to each bowl. I recommend you start with 2 drops and add a couple more if you would like to make the scent stronger. Keep in mind, little noses can easily be overpowered by scents so less is better in my books. Stir your oil and colour mixture together. Playdough is a blessing for parents. Making it yourself is super easy, cheap, and guarantees hours of fun. It makes a great indoor activity for rainy days and stores easily for on-the-go entertainment. The original commercial dough, Play-Doh, was actually manufactured as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s to help with coal residue. But once washable vinyl paper was introduced, sales of the product declined. However, playdough is extremely easy to make yourself! I avoid buying the commercial stuff because it actually has a petroleum additive in it to give it a smoother feel. While playdough is not meant to be eaten, kids tend to put anything in their mouths and I would rather they are playing with natural, safe doughs. Scented Playdough Playdough has long been a childhood staple. I played with it as a child and now so has my son! It’s a safe and simple way to keep kids engaged, and honestly, I don’t mind playing with it too.
