This is the softest play dough you’ll ever make and the best bit – no cooking on the stove.


Material

  • 1/2 cup shaving cream
  • 1/2 cup corn flour
  • 2 drops food colouring

Method

  1. Mix together equal parts shaving cream and corn starch in a bowl.
  2. Roll out on to a clean board then knead it until it starts to form dough.
  3. Add a few drops of food colouring to colour it, then knead some more.

Notes

Add more cornflour if the mixture is too wet. Add more shaving cream if the mixture is too dry.

  • I’ll give this a go, my son loves playdoh, he calls it roll roll because he loves rolling it but I think he may love the texture of this.

  • My kids love playdough but constantly leave it out so it goes all crusty, dry and unusable, this is a great cheap idea that the kids can make, will definitely be trying this.
