Homemade Cotton Candy Scented Easter Playdough Recipe

Last week my son was pretty sick from a yucky stomach bug {it was awful!} He was feeling pretty miserable and so was I because I just wanted to make it all go away. So when he finally started to feel like himself again and asked for playdough, I knew I had to make it happen.

So I pulled out all the supplies and followed our trusty recipe to create this beautiful colored Cotton Candy scented Playdough that is absolutely perfect for the upcoming Easter holiday. My son was on cloud nine with the end result and I was pretty happy to see that smile again.

This Cotton Candy Easter Playdough recipe has a great smell, nice texture AND it’s a no cook version. You can literally make it in minutes and have the kids help out in the making too! And that amazing smell? It’s created with a few drops of cotton candy scented extract. It smells pretty good and adds a nice festive touch to the mix too!

Cotton Candy Easter Playdough

The Basic Supplies:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water
* 1/2 cup salt
* 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* Cotton Candy Extract
optional materials – loose craft glitter

The Simple Directions:
* In a large mixing bowl – combine your flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil.
* Start stirring the dough mixture with a cooking spoon, until it’s well combined.
* Now add a few drops of the cotton candy extract {only one or two drops because you don’t want it too strong} and add in the hot water.
* With adult supervision, start stirring the dough until it’s starts getting sticky and cools down a bit.
* Once cool enough to handle – knead until it’s a smooth playdough consistency.
* When it’s the consistency you desire – play with it! Grab the cookie cutters and get ready for some fun!

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.
