If you are a parent, no one needs to tell your what play-doh smells like. The words brings that fragrance to mind in a way that’s almost indelibly etched in our minds.
Emily Paulson is also a mother with kids who like to play with dough, only as an essential oils expert, she’s developed a dough that smells better and, we’re going to be honest here, once you get a whiff of this stuff, you will be playing with dough, too.
Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups colored water
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
5 drops of essential oils
Instructions
