Silky Smooth DIY Play Dough

Materials:

• 2 cups of corn starch (or flour, but cornstarch is ideal)
• 1 cup lotion: any kind you and your family love!
• Big bowl
• Measuring cups

*OPTIONAL*

• Glitter
• Food Coloring

Mix It Up 

• Pour cornstarch into your bowl
• Pour lotion and mix, mix, mix it up with your hands (you can use a spoon or spatula for any artists that don’t like the feel of the mixture in this state!) 
• Your mixture may be either too dry or to lotiony: no problem. Have extra cornstarch and lotion on hand to add in as needed
• You want this to be soft and smushy yet able to hold a shape! 

Extra Fun

• Sprinkle in some glitter and/or a couple drops of food coloring to really jazz up your dough
