I like Homemade Playdough January 25, 2011 at 7:30 am

I have made lots of homemade playdough, but the last several tips are something new even for me!
Thanks!

I tried this recipe. It worked out great thank you!!! I have a question I bought the eucalyptus oil and lavender oil for smell but I’m afraid to put it in the play-doh because it says do not ingest. I work with pre-k children ranging from 3-5 years old. I don’t want to harm them but I like the idea of the anti-bacterial benefit. I also found out that tea tree oil keeps away lice.

Deb September 10, 2011 at 9:45 am: Glad it worked 🙂 My big girl did used to eat the eucalyptus dough but obviously it wasn’t enough to hurt her. That was when she was two, I’m not sure when she grew out of it because I actually gave up on playdough because she just ate it! I think by the time she was 3 she was ok.

We’ve been using tea tree oil for lice with mixed results. The little girl and I are ok, big girl keeps getting them. I think her hair is just so thick it doesn’t get in there properly and she’s constantly surrounded by them.
