Theres thousands ofplay doughrecipes online.
Some with scent, some with vibrant color, some edible, and some with glitter.
Regardless of how it is made, its a staple in our house.
We typically make asimple recipebut sometimes we like to mix it up.
This particular day was a mix up day.
We needed to think outside of our typical play dough box.
Its been our go-to every since!
This Super Silky Shaving Cream Homemade Playdough is so silky smooth.
It molds like typical play dough but it will also crumble.
Its actually pretty wondrous how it works the way it does.
Another element that we added, different from traditional play dough, was adding water beads.
I added them after we had mixed the dough into the right consistency.
When the dough would crumble, the water beads would be stand alone.
When we would mold the dough, though, the water beads would be incorporated into the clump.
Next we squeezed about 3/4 of a can of shaving cream on top of the corn starch.
We used the super cheap style of shaving cream.
You know, the kind from the dollar store that is super foamy ( Not The Gel Kind ).
Then add food coloring.
Then I started mixing it.
I made the mistake of trying to just whip through it with a whisk.
I still used the whisk, I just stirred slow.
When it starts getting more combined I switched to a spoon and my hands because it was getting thicker.
It wasnt as pliable as I had hoped, so I added a couple drops of water.
This is optional, I just wanted it a little more squishy.
And the water worked perfect.
Just a tiny bit though, literally a few drops.
it’s possible for you to mold, squish and create with it.
This dough would be perfect to use play dough tools like theseDIY Play Dough Toolsfor exploring textures.
The water beads added an extra fun, squishy texture that turned out to be a super fun dimension.
My daughter liked using her play dough tools to try and get the water beads separated from the dough.
This activity is perfect for independent play or a group sensory bin.
However it is used, though, be ready for an afternoon of giggles and smiles!
