DIY Orange Scented Playdough
It’s no surprise if you read the blog how much we love making our own playdough! It’s super easy to make, and you can even scent it with your favorite essential oils! We love making playdough in different scents for the holidays and seasons. So far for the summer, we’ve already made lemon scented playdough, lime and now orange scented playdough! The kids love playing with it and it’s a great sensory activity for them.
This no-cook version of homemade playdough is hands down my favorite! You only need to mix the ingredients, add boiling water and then knead it with your hands until it makes a soft dough. I’ve even cheated a little and microwaved the water for about 4 minutes, checking it every minute and it still turned out great!
