Did you catch our Chocolate Play Dough recipe the other day? It was such a big hit in our house, I decided to create another festive variation to add to our collection. And since Lil Man LOVES playing with these types of things, I knew this No Cook Peppermint Playdough would be well loved. {and it was – for days in fact!} This playdough recipe has a great smell, nice texture AND if you have a stuffy nose – the peppermint essential oil in it, is sure to open those sinuses up.  Trust me – I speak from experience on that!

And unlike our Chocolate Play Dough recipe – the recipe I’m sharing today is a “no cook” variation. This was extra great because I was able to have Lil Man create it right beside me, on our kitchen table. And of course – just like the other recipe, the supplies are really inexpensive and are probably already in your pantry. {if not – they are readily available at most grocery stores}

So what you are waiting for? This recipe is super EASY, so you have no excuse not to pull it together today! Go grab your supplies, some cookie cutters and get to work! This is a must-do for the holiday season – for kids & adults!!! {cause I had just as much fun playing with it, as my son did!}

No Cook Peppermint Playdough

Supplies:
* 2 cups flour
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water
* 1/2 cup salt
* 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* Glitter {I used about 2 tablespoons – add more/less as you feel like}
* Few drop of peppermint essential oil
* Red food coloring

Directions:
* In a large mixing bowl – combine your flour, salt, cream of tartar, glitter and oil.
* Measure out your hot water and add a few drops of peppermint essential oil & red food coloring to it. Then carefully stir in the hot water mixture to the flour mixture. {Should ONLY be done by adults}
* Then start stirring with a cooking spoon until the dough starts getting sticky/cools down a bit.
*Once cool enough to handle – knead until it’s a smooth playdough consistency. Then play!

Store playdough in air tight container when not using and of course – although this recipe smells amazing, it’s just for pretend. {sides that – it tastes gross when ingested} Please always supervise children while they play. If your dough is too sticky, add some more flour and knead through, until you get consistency you like.
