Lavender Kids Play Dough Recipe

Play dough is our thing. I can’t help it; we love everything that playdough has to offer. It’s funny the last time my mom came to visit, she told me she didn’t know anyone who made as much play dough as we did. I think she was saying we make it too much, but she just doesn’t understand our love for sensory play and all of the great benefits that come from playdough.

After I shared a few reasons why playdough rocks, she wanted to make playdough 😉

Adding the fresh Lavender to this homemade playdough gave it a wonderful natural texture.

Lavender Calming Playdough

We enjoy keeping a simple, peaceful homeschooling day going, so adding another calming activity that is fun and works my girl’s hand muscles is a win for us.
