A lot of ingredients are needed for a traditional play dough.Some recipes include cooking.It is possible to make play dough with only 2 ingredients.There are many other ways to make the recipe that uses the most popular one.There is at least one recipe that is completely healthy.
Step 1: Put the hair conditioner into the bowl.
The amount of conditioner you use is up to you.If you only want to make a small amount of play dough, use 15 grams of conditioner.If you want to make more, try 12 cup of conditioner.You will eventually need to add twice the amount of cornstarch.You can use hand lotion if you don't have conditioner.You should like the smell of the conditioner.It's not necessary to use the expensive kind of conditioner.The cheap kind will work.
Step 2: It's better to add twice as much as possible.
You will need 2 ounces of cornstarch for every 15 liters of conditioner you use.If you used 12 cup of conditioner, you will need 125 grams of cornstarch.If you can't find it, use something else.It's the same thing, but with a different name.
Step 3: Put everything together with a spoon or rubber spatula.
Make sure the sides of the bowl are clean so that the conditioner can get in.The play dough can stick to the spoon if it's too much.If the play dough is too soft, add conditioner.
Step 4: The dough should beKneaded for 1 to 2 minutes
Pick up the dough with your hands, then flip it over.Put it down and flip it over.When the dough starts to come together, all of the cornstarch has disappeared into the conditioner.If you make a small amount of play dough, knead it with your fingers.
Step 5: If you want, you can add glitter or food coloring to the dough.
The amount of glitter and food coloring you use depends on how much play dough you are making.A sprinkle of glitter, a drop of food coloring and a small amount of play dough will suffice.If you made a lot of play dough, try glitter and food coloring.Extra-fine glitter looks better than the regular kind, but you can use whatever you want.Food coloring can mix with your conditioner to create a new color.The brighter the play dough, the better it would be to use the same color.
Step 6: When the dough is dry, discard it.
The play dough won't last very long because it's very simple.The first time you use it, it may start drying up.When you are done playing with it, you can put it in a sealed container.
Step 7: The counter has a clean counter.
It's up to you how much you use.The measurement doesn't have to be exact, but 12 cup is a good place to start.If you can't find it, look for something else.It's the same thing, but with a different name.
Step 8: An equal amount of shaving cream is needed.
The amount doesn't have to be precise.If you want the shaving cream to look equal, squirt it onto the cornstarch.You should use the creamy, foamy type of shaving cream.Do not use the gel kind.It's not necessary to use a measuring cup for this.It will be too much of a hassle.
Step 9: The ingredients should be put together for 5 minutes.
Press down on the shaving cream after folding the cornstarch over it.Continue folding and pressing the ingredients until they form a dough.The dough may look hard at first, but eventually it will stick together and become soft.It will take about 5 minutes.
Step 10: If you want, add some food coloring and/or glitter.
The amount of each depends on how much you used to use.The amount of glitter and food coloring needed for a cup of play dough is about 1 to 3 drops.After you add food coloring and/or glitter, be sure to knead the dough.If you want to use the chunky craft kind, you can use extra-fine scrapbooking glitter.
Step 11: The play dough area is easy to clean.
The play dough is foamy and soft.It's easy to clean if you play with it.The table would be perfect.When you are done playing with the dough, put it in a container.Don't worry if some of the play dough gets off your playing surface and into your carpet.If you want to remove the stains from the carpet, you can use something like soapy water or rubbing alcohol.
Step 12: The play dough should be discarded when it begins to turn dry.
This type of dough won't last very long.It will dry out after a few days if you keep it in an air-tight container.
Step 13: Scoop 1 cup of pre-made frosting into a mixer.
You should use the type of frosting that comes in tubs, not "toothpaste" tubes.The cake mix can be found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.You can use the play dough for play as well.If you plan on eating it, make sure your utensils are clean.For a colorful effect, use "Funfetti" frosting.White frosting with sprinkles is what it is.Don't use frozen or refrigerated frosting.It isn't the same thing.
Step 14: If you wish, add food coloring or sprinkles.
Adding food coloring to the white frosting will make it look more interesting.A few drops is all you need.Candle sprinkles can be added for more color.If your frosting came colored, do not add food coloring.The play dough won't be usable anymore if glitter is used.
Step 15: It's a good idea to mix in 234 cups of powdered sugar at the same time.
The mixer should be turned onto a low speed setting.While the mixer is turning, add 234 cups of powdered sugar a little bit at a time.When the play dough is no longer sticky, it looks like ice cream.You may not need to use all 234 cups of powdered sugar if you touch the play dough from time to time.It is important to add the sugar slowly.
Step 16: Make any adjustments when you transfer the play dough to the counter.
The counter has a ball on it.Add more powdered sugar if it feels sticky.Adding cooking oil to it will make it feel better.Canola or sunflower oil will work better than olive oil.If you add powdered sugar or oil to your dough, be sure to knead them.
Step 17: Play with the dough.
Roll it into balls with your hands.The balls should be decorated with candy sprinkles to make them look like ice cream.Don't eat all of the dough.You'll get a tummy ache if you start taking big bites out of it.
Step 18: After a week, discard the play dough.
You should not eat this dough after playing with it.Eating it on the second day could make you sick because it will collect a lot of germs.The dough should be thrown out once it starts to feel dry.It should last about 5 to 7 days before it goes bad.
