After our annual trip to the lavender fields the other day I took an idea that number three had done at school and decided to make some lavender scented playdough.
I made this in the hope that it would have calming properties that would rub off on the children!! This unfortunately didn’t work but the smell was wonderful.
Lavender Playdough
- 250g plain flour
- 50g salt
- 150g water
- 2tbsp oil
- Few drops purple food colouring
- Finely chopped small handful of lavender
Mix together all the dry ingredients and slowly add the oil and water until all the ingredients are combined.
Store in a plastic bag in the fridge until you are ready to use.
What beautiful photos of a very fun activity! I can only imagine how wonderul that dough smelled. I love lavender! Xx
