Fluffy Play Dough

Materials:

• ½ cup conditioner

Steps:

• Pour your conditioner into a bowl (that not all conditioners are of the same consistency so you may need to add a little more or a little less corn flour to get the right consistency for you)

• Pour in the corn flour

• Give the mixture a good stir

• Optional: Add a few drops of food colouring

• Mix well using your hands. This part smells delicious!

• Have FUN moulding, squishing, shaping and playing with your new Playdough!

Slime

Materials:

• 1/2 cup Elmer’s glue

• 1/4 cup water

• 1/2 cup liquid starch

• optional: glitter and food coloring

Steps:

• Start by adding 1/2 cup glue to a bowl.

• Stir in 1/4 cup of water.

• Then mix in any glitter or food coloring. Make sure to only use a few drops of food coloring.

• Slowly stir in the 1/2 cup of liquid starch.

• Knead the slime on a mat. It will be sticky at first, but don’t give up! Use a little more extra liquid starch. The more you play with it, the less sticky it gets. Just don’t use TOO much liquid starch or contact solution, or the slime will start to get stringy.

• After playing, store for a few days in a Ziploc bag or airtight container.
